I have 2 accounts on XP and when I set up a password to
one account half way through my computer froze, therefore
I needed to turn off then turn on again. However when it
came to choosing the user and entering the password, I
typed in the password and it wouldn't allow me access, but
the password hint has changed. I can get onto my other
account but have limited access so I cannot roll-back or
even change passwords. Is there anything I can do myself
or will I need to have XP re-installed on my computer?

Many thanks !
