Restart your computer, first screen, hold down F8, a screen will pop up, select safe mode with the arrows and once that is done, you want to login as Administrator without a password and then hit ENTER. It will get into your computer in the safe mode and now you can go to the START menu n then to the CONTROL PANEL and go to user names and passwords and change your password & wa la!
"Caps Lock"? I would have though it would be "Fluffy" or "Beiber"

I know this ^ used to work on Windows XP and older, haven't tried it on Windows 7 but definitely worth ago.

Here's how:
1. Boot to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment).
2. Click on the Command Prompt option.
3. Type the following commands and press enter after each one:
C:
CD Windows\system32
ren cmd.exe cmd.old
ren magnify.exe cmd.exe
ren cmd.old magnify.exe
4. Restart computer.
5. Click on Easy of Access centre left side bottom à Choose Magnify option.
6. A Command prompt opens up
7. Type: net user administrator /active:yes and press enter.
8. Restart the computer.
9. Logon on to the "Administrator" account, and then using User Accounts page in the Control Panel, remove or change the password of the other account.
10. Type Magnify.exe in Start Menu search box and press enter and open it.
11. Command prompt opens up
12. Type: net user administrator /active:no and press enter.

this is not working on this, i tryed it earlyer, thanks tho
you would use recovery dvd 1, this will bring it back to the condition it was when you purchased it or you could follow the instructions above if you feel up to it.
personally if you've only had it 2 days and haven't anything to lose, I would go the recovery route
