Windows Password issue - Password not recognised

[Quovadis]

When I log into my laptop it says password not recognised ...I click on it again and it comes up with the name ( newlaptop) and asks for a password that I have forgotten.

If I change user I can get access to the computer which says administrator yet when I go into users in control panel I dont see new laptop as a user ? when I try control passwords2 in run I dont see it listed there either ? How do I find it and how can I delete it or change the password please ....

You can email me direct at clipped as I am anxious to get this issue sorted as I am due to travel soon
