I booted up my Vista Ultimate this AM to a "Your password has expired and
must be changed message."
It offers me 3 fields, 1st one is filled in (my old pw presumably), 2nd says
"new pw", 3rd says "confirm pw".
I fill in 2, and 3, and click - which results in a brief flash of
"Changing password..." then "Access is denied."
I've tried clearing 1 and putting in my pw instead of letting it get filled
in, the result is the same.
How do i fix this?
Thanks.
It sounds like your user account is set such that it is not allowed to
change its password.
- Is your account an administrator account?
- Can you still log in?
- Do you have any other administrator accounts available to log in with?

Yes, the account is an admin for the box.
No, I cannot login. I only get the "pw expired, change pw"
No, this is the ONLY account on my machine.
