Question
ive been away from my comp for 6 weeks came home tried to log on and it wont accept my password. has it been tampered with.
Hi Ron,
Microsoft explains How to log on to your Windows XP-based computer if you forget your password or if your password expires at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321305
Once you gain access to Windows, change your password just in case it was hijacked. Using numbers and letters will make it harder for someone else to gain access.
Hope this helps!

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
