PASSWORD BIG PROBLEM

OK i am in desperate need of help! Heres the problem...I
decided that is was
high time i changed my password on my account on
Microsoft XP. Im a computer
administrator and went into User Acoounts, clicked on my
account and then
clicked on change password. I changed my password
successfully and then
straight after (i hadnt even clicked out of the window) I
decided to change
my password hint so i wouldnt forget and when i put in my
new password it
didnt work, i tried my old password and that didnt work
either. I even tried
typing in combinations of what i might of accidently
typed in but what i dont
understand is how could i have put it in wrong twice.
So now i cant turn off my computer in case i wont be able
to get back in.
Please help me! How do i find out my new pasword or
change it again or WHAT
how do i fix it?!?!?

Hi

You could try to log on with the original Administrator user:

If that doesn't work out, you might try to reset the local Administrator
password with one of the methods mentioned here:
