My computer is asking me to change my password since the
old one has expired but when I enter my old password and
then type in the new one it shoots me a message saying
that my user name or old password is incorrect. Now, my
password has been the same one since I bought this
computer and this problem has happened to me before and a
friend fixed it but now the problem has come back and
that friend is gone. So I need someones help!!! I also
tried hitting cancel and it brings my computer to the
welcome screen and knowwhere else.

I'm assuming you have XP Home. Go into Safe Mode (hitting F8 as the
computer starts) and log in as Administrator. If you haven't changed
it, the password defaults to a blank. Once in, go to Control Panel>User
Accounts and change the password for your regular account. While you're
there you will see an option for the password to never expire. Select
it.
