I own a dell laptop and I am the administrator of the computer. I
thought it might be a good idea to also make a guest account for family
or friends that don't know my password. After I activated the guest
account i logged off to see if the account worked. sure enough, it did,
however when i tried to log in again as the administrator i recieve a
message that the password is incorrect even though i never changed it.
I have already tried safe mode which didn't work. I don't have much
saved on my computer so if theres any way to help with erasing old data
that is okey with me.

Thanks
