Default Forgot my password

I currently cannot log onto my computer because the password. The other day, i went to remove my password and i properly shut down the computer so it saved all its settings, but when i went to turn it on this morning, the password window popped up asking me for a password. I've tried entering all the passwords that I've used but they're not the ones. Is there any way i can reset the password? thanks

Boot in safe mode and log on with the "administrator" account and while logged in change your password on the other account.
