Boot off the Install CD and redo the partition/format.

There is software that can crack the password. http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/

Get the live CD download, burn the CD, then boot off of it.

I know Dave but thats a 532mb download and it would be much easier and quicker for me to do a re-install.

Yeah it is a bit big. I was just giving you options, do what suits your situation best.

It should let you delete the partition, what options do you get when you right click the partition in disk manager.
