Not really Fedora, but hey, we're here to help.  Go to:

  http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/

Download the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor .ISO, burn to a CD/DVD.

Try booting from that CD/DVD.  If it doesn't, go into the BIOS and change
the boot order.  If they're using secure boot, you'll have to turn that
off.  If the BIOS is passworded, you'll have to look up on the 'Net how to
clear the password.

G'luck,
