passwords Windows Me

Does Windows Me ever go wrong? I am fairly sure my password is correct (I have it written on paper) but the computer won't accept. I have had to use a new profile which isn't a satisfactory solution ,and the process gets messy. Some of my old favourites are no longer listed.

Any advice?

    if the new profile is an Admin in Windows ME, you should be able to use it to reset the password of another user.  I know you can do it in 2000 or XP, but not too sure about ME.

    Hello wizzywhig, thanks for message, sorry I have been a long time in replying (your message was July 13th!). I am not sure I have "Admin", but I will look. What I actually did was write a new identity by entering without one, but I still have no access to that particular password, even though it is still in the computer. I am still convinced the computer crashing as I was changing the password was when things started going wrong.

    I didn't know about "restore". I might have been able to use that rather than reload ME as my manual told me to do. I had the previous password written down too. Still.

    Enjoy computing.
