Help needed changing Windows account password!
Hi
When i went to log on to my Windows account on my laptop this afternoon it told me my password was incorrect. I tried again and again and again without success. I am completely puzzled by this because i have used the same password for years, and there are only about 4 or 5 variations of it that i also sometimes use, all of which i of course tried. Anyway, i then thought i'd see if i could log on to my account using a password reset disk (this was the option given when i clicked on "forgot my password") but this didn't work as you need to have already created a password reset disk which i do not. I eventually managed to log onto Windows using the fingerprint scanner my laptop has but i don't like using this method of logging on as i find it can be a bit hit and miss whether it actually works properly and would much rather go back to using a password. So after googling how to create a password reset disk i began the process, but now i am completely stuck as it requires you to enter your current password! To say i am frustrated/pissed off would be an understatement!
Any help finding a way around this problem would be greatly appreciated!
