Help with administrator password

Hi I have a friend who set the administrator password on her tablet but doesn't know what the password is. What can I do to reset or get around the password when I don't know what it is.

thanks Jeff

I hope your friend is not using the administrator account as her main account.

No she is able to get in under a guest account but is not able to change any settings do to the low level of options on that account.
