Log In issue

Since installing Windows 8 Preview some 3 weeks ago, I have had no problem logging in with the password the system asked me for during install. Today the system does not recognize that password. It starts (the little circles start to turn) and then the message comes up no match. I tried using my Live password and same message came up. I'm stuck at the log in screen and can't get into the system at all at this point.

Hi bc5805,

a System Restore may help, choose a restore point for a date when your password was accepted.
