Possibly lots of photos..
You'll need a piece of software to fix this for you. Basically, you download the software onto a computer that you can log into, and use it to create a password reset disk on a USB drive or a CD/DVD. Then you boot the inaccessible computer from this disk and follow the instructions. This one works well:
