Hi,
If you've got console access, you can connect the console cable, reboot, log on to single user mode [1], change root password, reboot again and then you've got ssh access. Once that's done, you can log on as root, go to "tmsh" and modify the admin password [2] and then you've restored GUI access as well.

Hope this helps!
