Windows XP authentification

[HalbaSus <halbasus () go ro>]

Now I don't know if this is a vulnerability, a feature or a bug..  but it's 
certanly anoying. On my home PC I have Windows XP and FreeBSD 4.6. Yesterday 
XP crashed because of a scandisk process (on somedoy's else hdd). I removed 
the other hdd and booted windows XP... "Your password has expired and must be 
changed"
But... Neither the Administrator account's password or my user password didn't 
worked. Making imposible to log in. I booted in FreeBSD mounted the windows 
drive and everything seems fine... BTW, I instaled Windows XP as an upgrade 
to a previous windows 98 could this be the problem ? Does anybody know where 
the password file is located ?
Does anybody know what could have caused this ? (maybe the password file got 
damaged (yet scandisk and fsck did not reported any damaged files))
