Cant login into windows XP Pro, please help !

Ok, the weirdest thing just happend....

I am using Windows XP Pro and logged in to my pc and then turned some music on and began to clean my room. The Computer after 15 minutes I have it set to start up a screen saver and when I return to have to log in again.

I began to clean my kepboard and around my pc and then took all the computer keys off and then put them back in (I check with my other keyboards to make sure they are all in correctly). I never unplugged the keyboard from the pc, just left it plugged in and took all the keys out and cleaned each key individually and vacummed up an dust or dirt on the keyboard... Then I placed each key back into its spot and as I was doing that, the buttons were being pressed down so it was typing in the password.

I didnt care much about because I knew the only way I could change the pass is inside the control panel. Once all the keys were back in, I typed my pass and I cant login in now....

Please help, is there anyway to redo my pass with out going in the control panel?

Please help,
Thanks
Lee

So are you saying that your pressing down the password keys are being rejected by the computer login?
