Incorrect Password

My daughter got a new laptop for Christmas with Windows Vista - we went thru
the set up and now she can't sign on because of an incorrect password. I've
tried to create a password reset disk but I can't even get to the start
button to make the disk. Any suggestions?

RE: Incorrect Password

I can see that more people than just me are having this problem today. I
just wanted to let everyone know that I got this to work but I had to
"restore to factory settings". After that it came up and I had to go thru
the entire set up again. It took me about 30 minutes, but at least she can
log on now.

Hi Leigh,

If it happens again, this will show you how to reset a password.
