OK i am in desperate need of help! Heres the problem...I decided that is was
high time i changed my password on my account on Microsoft XP. Im a computer
administrator and went into User Acoounts, clicked on my account and then
clicked on change password. I changed my password successfully and then
straight after (i hadnt even clicked out of the window) I decided to change
my password hint so i wouldnt forget and when i put in my new password it
didnt work, i tried my old password and that didnt work either. I even tried
typing in combinations of what i might of accidently typed in but what i dont
understand is how could i have put it in wrong twice.
So now i cant turn off my computer in case i wont be able to get back in.
Please help me! How do i find out my new pasword or change it again or WHAT
THE HELL WENT WRONG and how do i fix it?!?!?
I would really appreciate a quick reply due to the loud buzzing noise of my
computer running whilst im trying to sleep and im sure it cant be any good if
my computer is left runniong all the time AND its raining lately so i hope
theres not a blackout!
Please help!

Hi

You could try to log on with the original Administrator user:

If that doesn't work out, you might try to reset the local Administrator
password with one of the methods mentioned here:
