Login with old password after change

Interesting issue. After I changed the Login password, whenever the computer
goes to screen saver, I can type in my old password and it allows me back
in. However, if I log off and log back on, it only recognizes the new
password at the login screen. Once back in and it goes to password protected
screen saver, it accepts my old password.

Whats going on with XP?

Just wanted to mention that after rebooting, this problem went away.
Probably a good note to those who change their password that you should
reboot your computer afterwards to ensure the change propogates to all
aspects of Windows XP.
