[nabs-l] my laptop suddenly has a password

My problem is that the laptop asks for a password just to wake up 
the laptop but not when I restart the computer.  Now I get "The 
referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged 
into," on my glitched user account when typing in a random 
password.  After I restarted it I got "Your user account is 
disabled, please see your system administrator," (talking about 
my bultin admin account to troubleshoot the problem) I went in 
and I can use the computer for now.  I would like the other 
account enabled, so I don't accedently start a virus without 
asking for any confirmation.

Hello,
Yes you can reset the password very easily.  If you want to give 
me a call
send an email off list.

I have one adman account that has no password, and the built-in 
adman
account that doesn't have a password.  Awhile ago, I put my 
computer to
sleep.  I woke it up and it is now the adman account that I 
primarily use
asks for a password that I never set.  I typed in some random 
password in
the box and I got "The password is incorrect, try again," I 
clicked ok and
it goes back to this loop.  I went into the built-in adman 
account and I
have no problems getting in.  I went to search box and I typed 
netplwiz.
I clicked enter.  I selected my primary user account from the 
adman
console and it was checked saying "Users must enter a password to 
use this
computer." I unchecked the box.  I clicked ok.  I switched to my 
primary
account and it worked.  I put my computer to sleep.  I opened it 
up and it
asks for a password that's never been set.  This time I pressed 
enter and
I was in.
The thing is jaws is saying I have a password, but I don't.  I 
did the
same experiment on the other one and it doesn't ask for a 
password to wake
up the computer.  Since I have an unlocked adman account, can I 
reset the
other user account?
