I'm trying to change my password and I keep getting an
error message that says: "incorrect user name & old
password". I'm afraid to turn off my computer in fear of
not being able to getting it opened up again.
How can I confirm my current password?
The user name hans not been changed...it's alwways been
administrator
 
You can't "confirm" your password by retreiving it or anything. You can try
entering yourself a new password at the command prompt by entering:

net user administror table

"table" would be your password then. You don't have to use table...

Also, you could create a new user, give him administrative rights - YOU
SHOULD HAVE A BACKUP ADMIN ACCOUNT ANYWAY - and log on as that person if you
have issues logging on as administrator.
