| Vista Ultimate x64 | Vista login "incorrect username or password" with correct username and password entry Windows Vista x64 Have always used automatic login before. Recently added second administrator account so login screen now appears. When correct password is entered, the computer says incorrect username or password. This is true for both accounts. Can not get past the log in screen at all. Can not log into the system. When the password has been used to authenticate administrative tasks previously, it has been fine. Don't believe I have ever used the login screen before so this issue may have existed before the second account was created and only made apparent by this addition. |

| | Re: Vista login "incorrect username or password" with correct user I have the same problem. I have installed a fresh and genuine copy of Windows Vista Ultimate x64, do some logon/logout and the system start to refused my password on every account on my computer, even in safe mode. After a lot of restarts, the password start working but only for a short time. After some researches on the Web, I have found that some Toshiba laptop users are complaining about this problem. I have a Lenovo Thinkvantage T60 computer with the more recent firmare and BIOS updates installed. "accidentmagnet" wrote: Quote: > > There are no viruses. Also cannot log into safe mode.

| | Re: Vista login "incorrect username or password" with correct username and password entry is it the administrator password, or the administrator login password If it is the administratir login pass this is a method that works for me boot in safe mode *with cmd* enter control userpasswords2, an application should launch and from there you can take the login passwords off the admin accounts and should be able to just press them and log in Hope that helped : Cairnsy |
