If you are in windows Close your qt. Go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
Rename your wallet.dat to Oldwallet.dat and take a backup of that file.
Run the client now and it will generate a new wallet for you.

When there is no wallet.dat in your bitcoin directory, the client will create a new one for you.
So, you can either delete the current wallet.dat (only if you have zero bitcoin in it) or rename it to some other filename.
If you don't have any idea why even bother posting?
OP said he lost his password, using that wallet.dat with Electrum won't magically not need a password anymore. Secondly, I really doubt you have some facts(other than maybe being a thin client) to back up your last afirmation.
And last, but not least, you don't have any idea of how this whole thing works, yet you apparently own an 'official' altcoin forum. I pitty your users.

No idea about that but if you have the wallet.dat file you can download electrum and upload the wallet file there and it should work fine. Also electrum is a way better wallet.
