Okay so I was trying to speed up my desktop computer and I used a guide I found online. It told me how to get rid of my log on password to speed up performance so I did it. Then I restarted my computer so all my changes would officially take place, but when I logged back on, it wanted an account password... I've tried all my previous password and it won't let me in! I also noticed a second account now with no icon and it asks for a username and password. There are no hints or anything. I am posting this from my cell phone but I need my computer. Please please help me! Thank you so much.

Boot into safe mode on your computer. In safe mode Windows will only run the bare minimum services that it needs to function. Administrators commonly use this mode to repair computers that may have viruses or be broken in some other way. To boot into safe mode, press "F8" while Windows is booting. You will be given a menu with several options. Select "Safe Mode" and hit "Enter."
Log in to the "Administrator" account. Because of how common it is for an administrator to need to access safe mode to fix a computer, an administrator account is often set up automatically during Windows' installation but kept hidden during normal operation. By default, this account is not password protected, so all you have to do to log in is click on its icon in the list of user accounts.
Reset your password. To do this, click on "Run" in the "Start" menu, type "control userpasswords2," and press "Enter." A list of user accounts should pop up. Click on your user account. If you want to change the password, click "Change the Password" and type your new password. If you just want to remove the password, click "Remove password." After you have typed your password or clicked "Remove password," click "Change Password" to finalize this change. It is also recommended that you change the Administrator password, since leaving this account open leaves a hole in your computer's security. After you have done this, restart your computer and log into your account normally.
If its a pc, and the rough force is password covered, no technique to get to the knowledge with out sending it again to the seller. That safety procedure was once positioned into situation to avoid stolen laptops from having their information learn, despite the fact that they eliminated the rough force. If it is a computer, odds are this is a BIOS password required for boot, and the seller of the PC can more commonly support skip that (tech aid), more commonly over the telephone, whenever you end up you're the landlord. In both case, I'd touch the pc seller - see what they are saying will also be performed.
