cant log in

[Sincerely Susan]

for some odd reason when i restarted my computer and went to put my password
in, it tells me its the wrong password. I know what my password is and no
one uses my computer but me, so whats really going on. Its done it once
before and I had to reformat the hard drive. I dont want to have to do that
again,

Hi Susan,

Don't forget to overlook the obvious - have you accidentally activated the
'Caps Lock'?

Funny I had exactly the same thing happened to me to day. REALLY! I've
figured out a solution ( after cursing with all the foul words that I know
for 10 min. ) :-
1. turn off the power
2. turn back the power and start the computer with Safe mode
3. open Control Panel ( yes, it's still there ), choose BACK UP YOUR
COMPUTER
4. choose USE SYSTEM RESTORE TO FIX PROBLEMS etc. You'll be asked for
password. DON'T worry, enter your password, it'll go through.
5. click CHOOSE A DIFFERENT RESTORE POINT . You know the rest.
BY THE WAY, you said nobody uses your computer. Why don't you just put it on
SLEEP mode instead of logging off when you are not using it. It gets
restarted in no time at all.
