Cannot Log On

[Guest]

Hi, My brother has XP Professional on his laptop. It seems he changed his user name (administrator settings) using Control Panel for some reason and then restarted the machine - now his password does not work. The Welcome screen has the new user name, but is not accepting the old password

Any suggestions
