This can be a result of registry damage, sometimes caused by a hard disk
problem. Try booting into safe mode and see if you can login using the
original administrator account, which has a blank password unless you ever
changed it. If this works reset the password for the user account. If it
fails, try GreenieLeBrun's suggestion, but I suspect it may fail also.
Windows will not change a password. A virus or Trojan conceivably might.
