Forgot my administrator password

I just bought a Dell laptop from an I.U. student. She wiped the laptop clean before giving it to me. A friend of mine was helping me type in the adminintrator log-in name and password. I forgot what the password is and the laptop will not allow me to backtrack to delete the password and start over. It keeps asking for the administrator password which I can't remember. We tried wiping the laptop clean and re-starting with the Windows 7 disk but that won't work either because the program keeps telling us we need to type in the administrator password. Could anyone out there help me either manage to retrieve the password, put in a new password or bypass the "please type your administrator password" to wipe this laptop clean and start over by re-installing the Windows 7?
