Try the new Photoshop software discs and see if there is an uninstaller included. If so run this and earlier versions should be removed preparing the way for a clean install..

you can only change an admin password by booting from the install DVD

Reset a Lost OS X Account Password | General, System Prefs., Terminal | Mac OS X Tips

You will not be able to access the keychain, but it will get you out of trouble
