I was trying to change my windows password and hit enter before I entered in a new password and confirmed it. It computed for a minute and then came back and said my password was changed successfully. My question is - changed to what? I tried to change it again, but apparently it isn't taking my former password.

maybe it changed to blank? I think this was possible on XP and other OSes if your IT allows this. I am moving your question to a desktop security forum. Thanks,If this answers your question, please use the "Answer" button to say so | Ben Cline
