Go find the ORA_DBA local group, and add your NT account as a member of it.
You should then be able to get on with a 'connect / as sysdba' or a 'connect internal'.
Once on in that guise, you can reset all other passwords using the 'alter user fred identified by newpass' syntax. You'll particularly want to change SYSTEM's password.
