If the hardware you are installing on is identical, you should not have any
problems with activation. Worse comes to worse, you can activate by phone.

Was it your personal account whose password you don't remember or THE
Administrator account? If the former, there is a way out of this unless you
assigned a password to Administrator that you can't remember. If you can sign
into Safe Mode as Administrator, you can kill the problem account and create a
new one — with no password or a password you can remember.
