If its at home it must be someone in your family ............

im pretty sure its either ur family, or a friend playing a prank, that locked u out (if its a home PC that is). either way, just kindly ask ur parents, brother/sister, or friend to tell u the password. unless they locked u out on purpose and u just posted here to get us to tell u how to get around it. :-X. and if its for ur work...get ur employer to fix it.  :P

i have a compaq presario too and a while back it started acting up so i was gonna log out then back in and it kept saying the password was incorrect and i kept trying but it kept saying it and i didn't change the password and nobody else was around! it was really odd and then it started going into more weird stuff so i did a system recovery thing and it restored it to just like it was when i bought it... so i lost just about everything i had on it but thats better than loosing the whole computer and it's working fine today and i have all my stuff on there once again  ;D
