    For 6 months Microsoft enforced logon password change each month within 5 days of notice. I was away for 1 week, so do not get notice or have time to change.When I tried to use previous password. It was continually rejected as invalid, but I know it correct. I do not have reset disc.I now cannot access my settings or properly use PC.What advice can I get to restore access as administrator?Keith Taylor
