Administrator password won't save
Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 00:26:00 -0600
I tried to reset the Admin password in User Accounts, and when I
rebooted, there was the message that Windows could not log me on, so I
had to use my Reset Password floppy to get access to my account (which
also has admin privileges). I tried the same thing with "control
userpasswords2" but still no help. Now the Admin account doesn't
recognize either the old or the new password. And a system restore
wouldn't fix it. How do I correct this?
