I have a laptop with Windows 2000 on it, When i try to log on with the correct password it says that i can't get in and the password is wrong and i know that the password is correct. Any help would be appreciated.

Is the machine a member of a domain - and you are using a domain username/password to log in locally (check drop down box on logon screen).
