If you don't know the admin password you may end up having to do a clean install of the OS.

But before that, you may try searching on Apple's support site. There's a WEALTH of information there believe it or not.

While searching there, you may even come across this:

Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password.

There's a section within the above link particularly related to "Resetting the original administrator account password".
