Firstly, if you have a keyboard for windows, they key with the windows logo and 'start', or something along those lines, should work just like the apple key.
Secondly, did you try the ol' hold apple + s key (or at least rebooted only to realize you don't have an apple hey) then punch in something like 'mount -uw /'?
If you looked up that, you might be able to do it now with that newly found 'Apple' key, yay. If not, here's the deal to make a new admin on you mac partition on the hard drive. yay x2.
When you restart and you get to the choice for your Mac partition and Windows, click on the arrow or whatever you have, and AS SOON AS YOU CLICK IT, HOLD THE APPLE AND S KEY TOGETHER until you get it to a black and white 'single user' interface thingy. I did caps because the reaction time you need is pretty fast, took me a few goes.
You then need to type this, press enter after each line:
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
reboot
If this doesn't work, then you could try replacing the 'mount -uw /' with '/sbin/mount -uw /'
This should, when you start up again and go to the mac side, show you a sweet movie intro and at the end take you through a set up for your admin. You can then get rid of the old account.
If THIS doesn't work, then message me and I might help you some more.
Hope this can help, Good luck. :)
