Vista - Hepl Please - password has disappeared

I set up my daughters new lap top with a pasword - all fine. Tonight I copied
her files from the old computer using an easy link and as a result it now
tells me the password is wrong and she cant log on. But we didnt change the
new one and there wasnt one on the old machine. Grateful for any advice

Apparently Windows Easy Transfer also transferred over the user account
password. Since you didn't have one on the old machine, try leaving the
password field blank on the new one.

You, as an administrator should be able to change her account password, or
just remove it.

select hers and change the password (or remove it)
