There is a good possibility that she changed (or deleted) your account
and/or password somewhere along the line (or you've forgotten what it
was.)


I have one question we all need an answer to: Are you able to get past
the login screen, and on to the Desktop?
Please update your message with that information?

Keep looking for responses to your inquiry.
Someone will chime in with easy-to-follow directions.

And hopefully, they will not throw in words, instructions, etc. which
have specific technical meanings you can't understand.

Re: User Password Does not work

Hello Donald

No, I'm not able move from the log in screen, and there is no chance that I
forget my password, I always use the same one.

Besides that, as far as I know she could not logged in either.

Hi MAXROB,

Are you able to boot into Safe Mode? If so, you may be able to reset your password and be able to logon to your account afterwards.

If not, then this will show you how to reset the user account password so you can gain access again.

Reset User Account Password

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Is that a standart user account or administrator?
Can you log in as administrator?
