Administrative Password

I'm in need of some help figuring out what my administrative password for
Vista is!!! I work for a small company and the girl that set everything up
is no longer here and therefore we cannot access the admin accout and as I'm
sure you are all aware you can't do anything without accessing that account.
I have looked everywhere and it seems very confusing. I can get by on a
computer but I'm not professional. Does anyone know what I can do about
this...I've been at it for 2 days and would like to either just get the
password and be done with it.

Thank you in advance...

The password is whatever it was set to by whoever set it up. You'll
need to contact that person, regardless of if they are with the
organization anymore. It's true, there are ways to hack into the system
- but one, we have no way of knowing if you are asking help for a
legitimate use or not, and two - you admitted you are not a professional
by any means, and the procedures are very long and complicated and
cannot be done by anyone less than a professional. So again, you have
to contact the individual who set it up. They are obligated to help you
out.
