Windows: How to reset the administrator password?

I have a laptop and it has its password by fingerprint scanner with my brother's fingerprint and he has traveled abroad. I want to log in to the laptop but I can't. So what I can do to solve this problem?

Laptop, not labtop. Also, this is not the appropriate site for a question like this. – MDMarra Sep 27 '10 at 14:25
What kind of laptop? This is a very relevant detail that you left out. – Shinrai Sep 27 '10 at 15:24

You can try downloading Ophcrack and burning it to a CD/DVD. Boot from it and it will get the Windows passwords on the machine.

Basically, this will take the NTLM hashes and run them against rainbow tables trying to get the password.

If you can only login via fingerprint however, this will not work.
