I'm assuming that the Windows login password is meant here.

Follow the link "Forgot password" in the login window…

If you get stuck with this, reset the password with a self-burned computer image emergency DVD * / USB stick.

Whereby you can simply clap a Linux Live on a USB and try to get the passwords from the Windows users with the Linux tool chntpw (of course it has to be downloaded first). Of course, it doesn't work if the disk is encrypted.
