Error code: audit failure 0xC000006A at its connection to the Windows XP computer.

Original title: Audit failure during its connection.

Recently, my system has become a bit buggy.  I was looking through the event veiwer of clues as to why and noticed something very special.

Whenever I login, the attempt is flaged as a failure, but I type the correct password and access, (the password is to change every month and the screen 'change now?' appeared for almost a week now)

Here are copies of the events.

The link 'help' according to the error Code: 0xC000006A means "incorrect password entered", which is not true.

Any light on this would be helpful.

Thank you
