If that doesn't work, use NTpasswd to change the user account's password to
a blank.

http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Then log in with the blank password and go to User Accounts in Control
Panel. Change the password to anything you desire and while you are there,
MAKE SOME EXTRA USER ACCOUNTS SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
