Hi my name is Bigval I am having trouble logging in to my computer and I
am the administrator. It's like someone has changed my password and I
need help to get back in to my computer.

Well, there is a backdoor to your system if your system came preinstalled with the OS, In XP, boot into safe mode and you will see a "Adminstrator" icon. Log on using this account. Once logged on, you can change passwords for all accounts. I would suggest that if you got into your system this way, that you password protect THIS ACCOUNT! This way, no one else can access your computer as easy as you just did.

Good luck!
