I had the same problem on a Toshiba Laptop. I tried every option I could find. The only way to cure the problem is to reformat and re-install windows.

There is something in the Toshiba operating system that for some unknown reason makes up a generic password. The Laptop I worked on was only 1yr and 3 months old and the warranty had expired 3 months ago...go figure.
