I put in a password that is too long for the box and it will not accept it. I am the only computer administrator on this computer, and I am not able to get into my account. I am using a limited account for now. How do I get into my account?
 
Grace;
What do you mean by "too long"?
Ignore the dots in the space, simply type the password as the rest is
scrolling off the screen.

Otherwise:

Reboot into safe mode, log on with ADMINISTRATOR account then start up
"User Accounts" in Control Panel and change the password for your user
name.
