OT computer techs, I need your help.

I have a Dell Inspiron mini 1018 running Windows 7 Starter that is a few years old. I upgraded laptops a couple years ago and now want to see if I can find a file on the old Inspiron. Problem is, I can't remember my password. No password hint, either.
There is only one account on the computer and it is set as the administrator, so I can't simply log in as admin to change the password.
There is no CD drive on this little netbook so anything to do with re-installation via CD is out of the question. I have been trying to use software and tips I've seen online all day and nothing has seemed to work. Anybody had a similar experience?
Thanks in advance.

Take out the hard drive and attach it to another computer and search for your file through windows explorer.
