Password problem at boot up

[slimjim]

Every time I turn my PC on its asks me for a password before Windows loads up. Always has done. All of a sudden, it won't accept the password I've always used. What do I do?

Is the caps lock on/off?

The password may have been reset to a standard. When it asked for your password try just pressing enter (not entering a password at all). It's only a shot in the dark, as I've only ever heard of this happening a couple of times.

clear both boxes and click cancel when your desktop appears, click start and go to help go to the index tab and type in windows in the box. go down the list to the bit where it says something like "password, changing" and when the help dialogue comes up follow the instructions

Goto Start - find - *.pwl, and delete any files with the pwl extension.

Remove your windows password with Windows Password Seeker. I found it last week, and then I download it from http://www.passwordseeker.com and used it to remove the lost password within 5 minutes. Importantly, the useful tool no need to reinstall Windows. It’s worth a try.

Unlock the windows 7 administrator password without a reset disk, you can download a windows password reset tool. I found a good one called Windows Password Reset 9.0 at http://www.reset-windows-password.com last week, and then I downloaded it and used it to remove the lost windows 7 password.
