password-recovery

My Win 7 computer locked up, so I shut it down (holding down the power button till it shut off).

Logging back on, I got an error message that it couldn't load my profile (like I'm entering the wrong password).

I logged on the guest account, but can't change anything because it won't accept my password.

Is this a serious problem or do I just need to reset the password with one of the options available on your site?
