re: Windows does not recognize my logon password Sunday, December 28, 2008 at 6:21 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rich Kurtz (12246 messages posted) Leave the Administrator account alone, except add a good password. Create a new Administrator level account called Avigayil with any password you want. Shutdown and reboot. You should be able to login as Avigayil. Now click on Start then Logoff and logoff of Avigayil. Select Administrator and enter the password you chose for that account and you should be able to login okay. The big advantage to this is you always have a way to recover if/when your password on your main account (Avigayil) somehow gets whacked. Renaming the Administrator account should work, but since you're having problems, take the path of least resistance.
