Incorrect Password?

[Zen]

So I opened my laptop (ThinkPad x60) and logged on and noticed it was going kind of slow. I decided to reboot and I came back to the logon screen and typed in my password and it says its incorrect. Even when I swipe my finger on the finger reader it says the password is incorrect (though it accepts my fingerprint).

What should I do?

*Note: capslock is not on, and I'm using Win XP Pro

Do you remember what your password is (to type in?)

If worse comes to worse, there are burnable CD's which may reset your password.

You could also consider a format, if the information on the computer is not crucial.

Yes, I do remember the password. and yes, there are crucial files on the computer I cannot lose.

You could try logging in as Administrator (if you havent set a password it is blank, press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome screen) and username is 'Administrator'
Failing which there are some directions here that you can try: http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_admini...r_password.htm

Beyond that, I'm afraid this thread is going to get closed down, because we have no way of verifying whether the issue is genuine. Thanks for understanding.
