I accidentally locked my computer and I don't remember the passwword: how to solve this problem?

While exploring my computer backup options, I inadvertently activated the 'blocking of the computer' option in the control panel.  I remember setting up a password, then when I'm prompted to enter a password to unlock, I have'nt a clue.

How would I go about solving this problem

Hi bascus8180,

You can try to do a system restore to a date that precedes the question started by booting from a DVD of Windows 7 and check to see if it helps:

What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

Also, take a look at the following links:

Microsoft's strategy concerning lost or forgotten passwords

I hope this helps.
