    admin password not recognized after sleep

    i have vista ultimate and decided to try out the sleep function.

    when i woke my system out of sleep my admin password no longer worked.

    no new program installs, no password changes, nothing.

    i did open a port for vuze but that's about it.

    what's up with that? is my system compromised? what can i do to get back
    in? do i have to reinstall??

    You don't give the exact error message!

    1. Tap F8 at power up, and go into Safe Mode; see if it works there.

    Read above link, download ISO file to make a bootable disk; use it to gain
    entry..
