you can boot from your original OS X CD or DVD and reset the password. For more information, go to:

Damn, beat me to it.

Or you can boot to single user and run the following:
/sbin/fsck -y
/sbin/mount -wu /
/sbin/SystemStarter
then run:
passwd administrator

I have the same problem as the orginal poster, however when i try penguins advice, when i get to type the new password, the computer refuses to let me type anything in. Any advice?
the passwd utility does not acknowledge keystrokes. nothing will appear, but rest assured it is taking note of them. just type your password and hit enter.
