You have 3 options:
1) Reinstall Windows and start from scratch
2) Boot into Linux and recover the files, then install whatever OS you want
3) Remove the password via a USB boot drive (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_JIhn3vJVI)

We get lots of requests for lost passwords, basically you are asking us to tell you how to hack in to a protected computer. The computer could be stolen for all we know.
Take the computer with proof of ownership to a workshop and they should be able to recover the password, or alternatively reinstall the operating system from your recovery disks.
If we posted any method of bypassing/resetting a password over the internet on a public forum, any thief or hacker would think Christmas came early

Use a boot disk such as Offline NT. Either burn to CD or flash drive. Boot into it and remove the password. Takes about 5 minutes or less.
