I think you can call their customer services to get back your Password. Maybe they will ask you a few question before give you the password. Make sure you still keep all the particular before you call them.

Maybe you can practice this method as a last resort if there is no way to retrieve your password : reboot your PC.

Is your username on Machine is Administrator or something else like chuckiesd ? If it is Administrator it will be difficult to find but if its an Account chuckiesd with Administrator privelidges then you can press crtl + alt + del 2 times at login screen and type in username Adminstrator and leave password blank and you might be able to login and change the password for your admin account chuckiesd
