I entered my password to gain access to my account.  Password will not access or except.  I'm the only administrator other than the guest.  Desktop computer, tower is IBM.  How can I fix this situation?  I can only get on the guest site.

Log into the built-in Administrator account and remove the password for your own user account. Once in, do thorough scans for viruses and malware. In XP Home, boot the computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to the right menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not work here. Once in Safe Mode, you will see the normally hidden Administrator account. The default password is a blank. In XP Pro, you do not need to go into Safe Mode. At the Welcome Screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and whatever password you assigned when you set up Windows. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_MalwareMS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
