Admin Password not working XP Pro SP2?
Until two weeks ago, I had not problems logging in using Administrator and my password. Now I can only use the guest account. My applications are not available. Why is my password broken? I am the only person who has used this computer since 2005.

Repost in this forum for assistance: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xpsecurity/threadsNote: Support for WinXP SP2 ended on 13 July 2010. Computers running WinXP SP2 "will no longer receive software updates from Windows Update" [i.e., updates released on & after 02 August 2010 so you're now over three months behind!] until SP3 has been installed. Extended Support for WinXP SP3 will continue through 08 April 2014. • What does it mean if my version of Windows is no longer supported? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/what-does-end-of-support-meanIf you do NOT have a valid & fully-functional anti-virus application installed, see...
