For Windows, the administrator password is entered when you first set up the computer and install windows during setup.

So, it's likely you've forgotten it or it's the same as your user password or, if you bought the computer with Windows on, something entirely random. Often it's just left blank though so you might want to try that.

If you can't guess it then you can use a Linux live cd to overwrite it:

Make sure you read the warnings before you use it.

I'm curious as to why you would want to uninstall Ubuntu, but either way. Try THIS to reinstall the Windows MBR so Windows Boots Automatically.

Good Luck.

You can't really "uninstall" an operating system in the same sense that you would uninstall an application, so the title is perhaps misleading.

You'd be better to ask this question over at the Ubuntu forums (www.ubuntuforums.org) or Linux Questions (www.linuxquestions.org). If you're thinking of installing Ubuntu at the minute, you might actually be better to wait a month or so for the next release which IIRC is supposed to be due this month.
