What to Do if You Forgot Windows 8 Password

“I bought a brand new laptop for my ten year old son with Windows 8 pre-installed on it. He changed the admin password, but did not write the new password anywhere, and now he cannot remember what he changed it to. What can I do? There is only one Admin account on this computer and there is no external CD, the operating system is loaded from somewhere inside the machine.”
