Solved Incorrect Username\Password?

Just resolved an issue with a Win7 laptop that resulted in some lost data and deletion of the Recovery partition (MBR corrupted necessitating a recovery disc to boot and repair). That said, when I attempt to gain access to the Win7 laptop from my Vista PC I get the following notification when prompted to log on:

I know for a fact that the username\password combo is correct as I have been able to access the Win7 machine via my Vista PC in the past.
What is the best way to approach this in light of the fact that I just recovered the Win7 from a problem?

Thank you in advance for any help.

I appreciate the reply and will try in a minute. The issue is with username/password on the Win7 machine, correct?

I'm not sure, remove the password then see if it works

Tom

It was Win7. Method 3 worked just fine. Had to use a USB flash drive vs. DVD as I don't have an optical drive. But it worked to a 'T'.
Thanks for directing me to the tutorial.

No problem, glad I could help Also, thank you for the rep
