Have you been drinking? Maybe you'll remember your password and be able to hit the minimise button in the morning?

no no drinking unless water is gonna get me drunk????

If windows isn't accepting your password any more then it may have been hacked?

Try running Malwarebytes and a virus scan.

Ah yes lol..

There's a boot CD which is recommended a lot here, it allows you to recover your password, but I cant remember what it is. Someone who does remember should be here shortly...

Pass Editor for NT/2k/XP/Vista/Win7.
Dont use this though if you got some EFS encryted file in the drive as you might not be able to access the encrypted file.
