Windows 7 still in Beta

"Something strange has occurred with my Windows 7. We had two user
accounts on there: mine (which was also the Admin account) and my
wife's. Neither of these accounts had a password. (Perhaps not a good
idea, but nobody else uses our computer.)

Last night, my wife's account wasn't showing up on the opening sign-in
screen, but there was a blank profile called "Other User". When I logged
onto that and entered my wife's user account, it let us log in.

I went into Users to see if I could see what was going on, and I'm not
sure how it happened, but the next thing I knew, without entering
anything at all, it was saying that there was a password on my Admin
account.

So I logged back out to the use login screen and now my wife's account
shows up, and there's only the blank "Other User" profile showing up for
me. If I log into it and enter my username, it prompts for a password -
a password which I never created and thus do not know. So now I'm locked
out of the Admin account for my computer.

Is there anything I can do?"

Why do people put up with paying for this unfinished CRAP?

Because they judge it better than the competition.

Why do you?

Why don't people take this for free? http://www.debian.org/Bugs/

You're an idiot Gortard and a good example of a little knowledge being a
dangerous thing.

Same as I dont see any of the COLA Linux "users" helping elsewhere.

Who uses Windows 7 other than you, Koehlmann, Marti and WronG?

Personally I use Debian so I dont really see how I can help anyone with
Windows issues.

Where are you and "advocates" like Homer fixing the issues here?:-

Oh well, at least "Hadron" used his "expertise" to help the poor
Microslop victims... Oh wait, OOPS :-p



I help Windows, Mac and Linux users (the ones I have suggested use Linux...
I know very few others in my area.)
