Windows Vista x64
Have always used automatic login before. Recently added second
administrator account so login screen now appears. When correct password
is entered, the computer says incorrect username or password. This is
true for both accounts. Can not get past the log in screen at all. Can
not log into the system.
When the password has been used to authenticate administrative tasks
previously, it has been fine. Don't believe I have ever used the login
screen before so this issue may have existed before the second account
was created and only made apparent by this addition.
