Desktop won't load. It goes to the login screen and I type in my password, and it'll say "Welcome" with the spinning circle for a long time, then it'll load me onto a temporary profile. How do I fix this?

Go into control panel and create a new user (dont make it the same name as your old profile) then restart the pc and log into that new profile. To retrieve all your settings favourites etc you will need to say what version of windows you are using

I'm locked out forgot password

If you can tell me what the Os do you use, it could be must better.

On XP you can try this:
Boot computer and press Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice when you See Windows welcome screen / login screen. It'll show classic login box. Now type "Administrator" (without quotes) in username field and leave password field blank, press Enter and you should be able to login Windows.
Now you can reset your account password from "Control Panel -> User Accounts".

On Win 7 or Vista:
Ctrl+Alt+Delete won't work, you have to use some windows password reset tool. I recommend Windows Password Reset.
