I'm having a problem accessing my laptop which is running Vista Home Premium. It keeps saying it does not recognize my password which I had used to access it only minutes beforehand.

Hi all! I have a laptop which is running vista ultimate, it has been altered to work with my high schools network. Recently I went into system and changed the settings, it was set to work on a business group or something (I can't remember exactly) but I changed it to use on a home network and then restarted my computer and to find that I now cannot log in. I don't go to this high school anymore...
