In addition to Ian's excellent advice if you truly believe your computer was
hacked by a malicious user then you can not trust that computer and there
could be backdoors, keyboard loggers, etc that could be used to try and
steal sensitive data from you or impersonate you. Not knowing your situation
maybe a family member/roommate/friend? did this but if you can not resolve
what happened you need to be concerned. Of course steps would need to be
taken to try and prevent the problem from happening again which may include
physically securing the computer or at least the hard drive [removeable
tray] before taking the time to clean up everything. The link below is a
good start on basic ways to protect your computer/network. --- Steve

I encountered a problem last night. It appears that someone has hacked my
computer. I am running windows XP Professional. There are three accounts,
my name, Admin, and a third name, The The first two users are password
protected, but the third is not. All three have administrative rights. I
can log on with the user which does not have a password, but not my name or
Admin.
Is there any way to work around and log on my name. If not is there a way
to retrieve the data from the My Documents folder. The rest of it I could
care less about.
