Today, I was not able to login into Windows XP with my account. My account is administrator equivalent and it says incorrect password when I try to log in. This is not on a domain, just a local laptop at my home. I am absolutely typing the correct password (I changed it two weeks ago and have been logging in every day since). So I don't know if somehow I got a virus or it was hacked (if that is possible). I've tried booting in safe mode but that still requires a password as well. I also tried using Administrator without a password but that also states invalid password. How can I get into my laptop. I know it's time for me to upgrade and had planned on it soon, but now I'm desperate to some how be able to get logged on. Has anyone had this happen to them before? Does the account lock out after so many attempts and if so does it reset after a certain amount of time? Any suggestions would really be appreciate
