MUGAR4. I should contact your machine manufacturer and ask them to reset it for you. You will need your Service Tag handy.

Perhaps it is because you have caps lock on? Most passwords are case sensitive.

Whenever I have this problem it is because my "num lock" is on. If you have a keyboard whithout a seperate numbers keypad, you might want to check that.

What operating system are you using. Also try pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and type the username Administrator with no password see if that works.

When you get it back. Be sure to make a recovery password Cd so this will not happen again
