We've got a new gateway computer and when you first turn it on you have to log on with your password or you can log on as a guest. Well, it no longer recognizes the password but you can still log on as a guest but all of the features are not available. I would like to reset the password to something different and see if that works but apparently you cannot do that logged on as a guest. I'm open to suggestions. Please do not tell me that maybe I misspelled it or something else idiotic like that, I have tried it 100 different ways. No luck.
what operating system are you using?

I don't run 7 so I have no idea how well any of these work.

just thank god that your harddrive isn't encrypted with something like truecrypt, then the hurt will really be on ya!
Check you caps lock key, passwords are case sensitive.
Did you ever get this sorted out? I've used Trinity Rescue a handful of times to reset forgotten passwords. Haven't tried it on Windows 7, so don't know if that'd work for you.
I used LophtCrack to audit my domain passwords in a previous life. It'd crack me up (no pun..) because about 80% of the passwords would be available within 3 seconds. All but mine, the admin and some service account passwords were given up within three minutes... Complex passwords? Yeah....
