    Post Password in XP

    Hi! I'm having a problem with passwords!
    When I create one, it works for a while but after, windows say the password isn't correct.

    I'm 100% sure that NOBODY changed my password because I'm the only one to know that Control Panel exist ...

    Anyone?

    How long is 'after awhile?' Unless you set it up otherwise, the default password setting is to expire after 14 days.

    and you're sure that the CAPS lock and Num Lock are on/off correctly?

    To prevent forgetting your password, you can make a password backup disk which will allow you to change it if you have a problem.
    On the user accounts control panel, click on your account and then choose "Prevent a Forgotten Password" on the left-hand column. This may not stop your password from changing, but at least you'll be able to get back into your account.
