Vista not accepting password when RDP

I have a laptop that I RDP into. The IP addressed changed due to DHCP (I've since locked it down so it wont change again.) After the IP address change, I am no longer able to RDP into the machine. The password is very easy and is only set just so I can RDP. Normally I would bother, but when I first set this up, I was blocked because a password wasn't set.

Now when I try to remote into the laptop, I get "User name or password is incorrect". I've reset the password multiple times and even removed the password, but I can no longer RDP into the laptop. Why? Nothing else has changed, that I am aware of.

Thanks

Okay, I figured out what I was doing wrong.

I received this laptop from someone else. This person already setup the user and user name (user name is user1). I renamed the user to something friendlier and I was sure that was what I had been using to RDP into the laptop in the past, but perhaps I forgot. I used the name user1 to log in and it worked. Go figure. Hahaha. :)
