Last night I changed the log-on password for my desktop Windows XP computer.
I may have set the new password incorrectly as I now can't start Windows with
any of the passwords I have tried today....

I am running Windows XP SP3.

I am set up as with administrator rights.

There are no other users set up.

How can I get into the system and reset my password correctly??!!

Just to let you know that I too have found myself in this situation in the last few days, fortunately I can log on with another user account but of course without admin rights there is little I can do to solve this problem, talk about round in circles. I can only hope there is a solution out there somewhere, best of luck to you too !
