Logon failure-unknown username or bad password
I cannot logon to my Admin account after typing the correct password. I try
to do a system restore through my guest account, but when I go to system restore, the admin account pops up and asks for the password. I try to reboot in safe mode, but I'm not able to do that either. If anyone has had the same problem, and found a solution, please post it here. Thanks.

Restart and enter Safe Mode by tapping F8 when the reboot starts and BEFORE Windows starts to load. Login with the ADMINISTRATOR account (it shouldn't require a password unless you set one for it) Go to Control Panel (classic mode) then User Accounts. You should be able to change the password on the account that is having a problem.
