Can Not Log In Now To Load Desktop I just purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 64-bit.
Everything was going fine until today.
Powered on laptop.
Windows got to my log in screen in the boot process.
Log in screen shows my correct user name.
I enter my password and get an error message that I have an incorrect user name or password.
So now, I am effectively locked out of using my new laptop.
Please, please help.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I just tried hitting F8 during boot. Nothing different happened. The login screen showed up and still will not take the password.
I am familiar with hitting the trusty F12 in Windows XP during boot to get in the back door, but Windows 7 does not seem to present the same opportunity when it is booting up.
Still locked out. | My System Specs | | |

As soon as boot starts, quickly and rapidly, many times, hit f8. That part will work. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420 OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc CPU Intel Core2 processsor Q8200(2.33Ghz 1333FSB) Quad Core Tech Motherboard Dell Memory 6 gb Graphics Card ATI Radeon 256MB HD3650 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell SP2009W 20" Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard Mouse Dell Premium Optical USB Cooling Fan Hard Drives 640 GB Serial ATA Hard drive Internet Speed DSL 2.85 |

The quickly and rapidly advice worked.
I got into safe mode.
I removed the login password requirement from the profile.
Restarted the laptop.
It did not ask for a password this time, but at the same Windows 7 start up screen, I get this message:
"The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded."
I have an OK button under that message.
When I press that OK button, it just logs out and loops me back to the same screen.
Can't get past that screen. | My System Specs | | |
