I believe you can disable it with the free software at the link below.
Read the warning because once you do that you can not enable it again
if I remember correctly if that is a concern.

Steve - NTpasswd just lets you change the password to Windows. You
normally would want to change the Administrator password and it is
easiest to just change it to a blank. After you've made your changes in
Linux, you can log into Windows and use the User Accounts applet to
change the password back to anything you want. The only problem you can
run into by doing this is if you have encrypted files.
I wasn't really sure where the OP had set the password - BIOS or Windows
or even both - but he has information on dealing with both situations
now.
Cheers,
