just got a new laptop and I am having trouble with user lockout?
ok so I set up the user settings by putting in a password then I had to restart to update and then I try my new password to let me into the main account and it is saying its wrong. I have tried as many different combinations of the password that I can think of but it is not registering it just keeps saying that it is invalid is there any way that I can just reset the password to nothing or to something else?
no I mean the main page I am locked out the admin is locked out on my laptop I am using my desktop right now

Assuming this is Win7(Since you didn't say), you've got a problem. I assume you realize passwords are case sensitive?
Since this is a new computer you probably don't much data to lose, so just reinstall the OS.
Write down the PW this time.
