I believe the only way to do this is a factory reset which will remove all your setting and go back to original settings which will allow you to put in a new admin password.  All settings will be lost.  Take the battery cover off and locate the reset hole below the battery.  It is marked.  Put a paper clip or similar in the hole and push lightly for 30 seconds.  The factory reset will take about one minute.  Good luck.
