I’ve been using the same password while login in to my Windows for several
years now. Never had any problems , even after not using my computer for a long time. I was away from home for 2 months and after coming back I am not being able to log in, after typing my password, the information pops up – ‘The username or password are not correct’. No one had an access to my computer so the password wasn’t changed. I have no idea how it happened and how to resolve this issue. I am not able to log in as an administrator or any other user of this computer. Someone recommended using ‘ophcrack’ and other login recovery programs, we tried to do it from the other computer and after downloading those programs we weren’t able to proceed either. I am not sure what happened ( is it possible for password to expire? Or change itself??)Is there any way to retrieve my password?? Thank you so much for any tips on this matter. Maggie |

Maggie I assume you've checked obvious things like the cap lock key being pressed... You might also want to try another keyboard in case one of your password-required keys went bad... Otherwise... Try doing a System Restore to a prior date. If you can boot to Safe Mode, then try this: "How to start the System Restore tool by using the safe mode option with the Command prompt in Windows XP" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304449 Otherwise, you may have to resort to the Recovery Console: "How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 HTH, John |
