Your locked out of windows? If thats the case enter in to safe mode so you can change the password back.You should always put a password on your computer just incase.
anyways entering your computer in safe mode should give you the ability to change your password to something you'll be able to log in with. Check your manuel or go to this link http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chsafe.htm
It was ethier your nephes messing with the account or a very complex virus. Instal an Antivirus like Mcaffe or adaware just in case. and put a password on that computer.

you can reset or change the passcode in windows very easily but it will require obtaining either a windows XP live disk or a boot disk with access to copy and change files in windows (often a linux boot disk with ntfs r/w access) you must copy 1 file over the screen saver (cmd.exe) . I recommend that unless you know about computers, look up in the classifieds for a computer tech to work on it. It will cost $50 or so to get it unlocked. otherwise install a fresh copy of windows on the same machine (this is referred to as a side-by-side install) of which you can go ahead and change the files on the other install. do a google search on lost windows xp password for further information.
