Hi,

I went to turn on my computer and it told me that my
password has been expired and I need to reset it. So I
go to reset it, and my password won't work. The caps
lock key is off, and I'm positive I'm typing it right.
It won't let me in. I haven't even used the password
system for logging in in over a year, yet for some reason
it told me i needed to change it. I'm not sure if it was
a glitch or if someone was messing with my computer.

I've tried logging on as Administrator, simply hitting
cancel, doing the CTRL + ALT + DELETE two times thing,
and I can't get out of the screen that says

Username:
Oldpassword:
Newpassword:

Am I totally screwed, here?
