I shut my computer down, and when I started it again, I tried to get into my
user account on windows XP, and was given the password prompt....I don't have
a password set up for my account, when I pushed the password hint key, I was
given a clue that has absolutly nothing to do with what I usually use for my
password. When I try to use my usual password, I'm told it's not
right......I'm the administrative user on this computer(also the only one
that has that right) and I have absolutly no idea what I can, or even if
there's anything I can do......Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D

So, do you have a password or not?

try starting in safe mode to access the default admin account to check your
user accounts in control panel, and from there you can make necessary
changes.

Or, from safe mode type this in the Start>run
control userpasswords2
and make your changes there.

Please Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 3 user accounts on my home computer, which runs Windows XP. I have a
problem with my User Accounts. When I start windows it opens the welcome
page and I can switch between users no problem. The problem seems to occur
when the screensaver starts. When I move the mouse and it takes me back to
the welcome screen and I try to click on the user accounts it prompts me for
a password. There are no passwords for any of the accounts. I have checked
the accessibility for the screensaver and the prompt for password box is
unchecked. I have had to set the screensavers on all 3 accounts to 2 hours
just so we can use the computer hassle free. Can you tell me what is wrong
with my computer and how to fix the problem?

If you found a solution please email me at

Thanxs
