I have an problem... I have 2 accounts on my windows xp. My sister has managed to somehow set that when I turn on my computer it automaticaly enters hers account, and when I want to log off and enter my account, on log off it asks me for password (wich by the way my sister don't know :( ), so I cannot enter my account, and I cannot turn off my computer without entering her password. So I can only turn off my computer by holding my power key!

What can I do, and can I do anything at all?
Tnx alot!

Try starting the computer in safe mode, it shouldnt automaticly log you in. Then log in as one of the Administrators and remove the password off her account. Then in Control Panel - Users - Change the way users logon. Check the use welcome screen box.

The windows key + L should allow you to change users.

If you're REALLY locked out of Win2k or WinXP, there's a linux boot disk you can use to wipe passwords. If you have any individually password-protected files or folders, you'll lose access to them, though.

Have you tried just entering a blank password? :)
