In this case, you will need to reset your Windows Vista password.

If your computer is on a domain, only your network administrator is authorized to reset your password. If your computer is not on a domain, you can reset the password by using a password reset disk. To know more about password reset disk, you can refer to the link below:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/create-password-reset-disk#1TC=windows-vista

If you do not have a password reset disk, the only option you are left with is to re-install Windows. The following link can be useful to know more about what to do when you have forgot your Windows password:

Unable to sign in
Point your web browser at http://www.gmail.com

If another account comes up, sign out of it by clicking the avatar in the upper-right then clicking "Sign out."

If you then still can't sign in to your account, click the "Can't access your account?" link on the sign-in page.

Dear sir, some one locked my yahoo pasword how can recover my password
From Yahoo.

This message is seen when an attempt to login has failed multiple time. As a security measure, your account has been locked to prevent unauthorized users from being able to log in to it. If you have not recently tried to log in, this is not necessarily a cause for concern. Another Yahoo! user may have mistakenly used your ID when attempting to log in to their own account.
The lock on your account will expire 24 hours after it was first locked. Don't worry-the lockout time period won't reset each time you try to sign in while the account is still locked. You can try to sign in again after the lockout time has expired. Note: Yahoo! is unable to provide you with the exact time that your account was locked or when it will be unlocked.
If you are still unable to sign in with your new password, please see the password problems help page for some common reasons why you are seeing the "Invalid Password" error.

Why cant i sign in in my yahoo messenger?
Has this just happened recently, or have you always had this problem? Are you sure you're using the correct user name and password? If you've forgotten your password you can request that it be sent to your email, as long as you still use the same email account that you used when you signed up for Yahoo Instant Messenger. It's always good to keep your account up to date, if you change your email address, for example, you should go to your Yahoo account and change it there, so in the case of forgotten password, the information will be sent to the new email address, instead of the one used to sign up with.
If you are sure that you are using the correct user name and password, however, how long have you been unable to sign in. Please provide more information so I can better help you.
Thank you.

Hello

- It seems like somebody has hacked into your hotmail account and changed your password so you are unable to sign in.
- If messenger is tellling you: WRONG USER NAME OR PASSWORD it is that. - Otherwise try uninstalling and reinstalling msn messenger and see how it goes. - A good way to check if the password is WRONG (therefore changed) is go to www.hotmail.com and insider there put in your email and password (the ones you think are the good ones and see if it is telling you that the password is incorrect.

Failing to sign in is another thing. To check if it is a problem at your home on your computer use www.meebo.com and try sign in there. If you are able to sign in then the reinstall of msn messenger should solve your problem.

One last thing if you installed a firewall make sure that msn messenger is added as an exception in the allow programs as you will keep encountering this problem.
