If it's a new install, just re-install and write down your password. :)

What is the password for? Do you own the machine? What kind of password is it? We need a lot more information then you provided.

"aquired" does not mean you own it. We will not help you break the password of a machine you do not own. You still have not provided us with any kind of information that would allow us to help you.
