user name or password incorrect error atlogin screen but fine remotely
Hi
All of the user accounts on my windows 7 pc are locked out.
I havent changed any passwords.
The last thing i remember doing was browsing computers on our
home networks, and having to enter a username and password
to access my wifes pc.
Now whenever i try to log in to my pc i get the error
"user name or password is incorrect"
I know the user name and password are fine, as if I access my pc
from my wifes PC i can get access with the same user name and password
which is being rejected when i log into the PC itself - also if i deliberately
enter an incorrect password while connecting from the remote PC it correctly
rejects this.
Im guessing something went wrong when I entered the user name /pass
to access my wifes pc ( These are the same as another user/pass on my pc )
or I have a virus.
Ive tried booting into safe mode, the first time i did this it let me in ,
I changed the password and thought the problem was solved ( did not make
a password reset disk ;-( )
However i later tried logging in with one of the other accounts - and got the error again.
Now im completely locked out. Even when I boot into safe mode I cant get past
the login screen, and just get the "user name or password incorrect" error.
has anybody seen this problem before ?
