Assuming you're using WinXP, try to start using Safe-mode (press F8 during the boot up, before Windows logo appears) and see if you can get in.

yeah i can do it like that, but i did something to the user accounts i think i cant remember and i think i messed something up. like i said i get a login message thing, it says like password invalid or something.

hmm, when you go into safe mode...do you still get asked for a passwd? I think you should be able to login as admin via safe mode, and then reset the password for the account you normally use?

earlyier i tried to go into safe mode and it worked but it still ask me for my password first then i could click on administrator, but like a hour ago i made a new password and that worked soo i guess it's good now.
