Then you can plug it into an IDE to USB adapter (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002), and plug it into a linux box to mount and edit your /etc/shadow file and remove the encrypted password. Then unmount, slap it back into the laptop and login as root with no password where you are then free to change it.
