EDIT: This was meant to be a reply to the post below. I hit the wrong button.

Macs are horrible. At least, if you're a gamer. Which I am. That said, Windows and Linux are horrible too. But if I wanna play my games I gotta use Windows (when I'm not playing my 360)

Anyway, I have a couple of suggestions. Use the recovery disk that should have been supplied with your computer. THis will probably require a HDD format but I'm not 100% sure. I did it the other day with a work lap top and everything was stored on the network anyway.

Suggestion 2: Create a new user account and see if you can delete the old one (if it works you should be asked for the administrator password in order to proceed) IF this happens, cancel the delete and try to log in again.

Suggesstion 3: If your computer is on a network, check to domain settings on the log in screen.

Suggestion 4: This one should probably come first, but meh, make sure you're spelling your user name and password correctly and that the capslock key is not on.

Suggestion 5: Abandon all hope, for someone has changed your password and stolen your recovery disc.

That's all
Helpful stuff, thanks!
It's my home PC, so I'll give it a shot tonight, suggestion 2 is looking the tastiest option at the moment.

just make sure
you set your new account as an admin as well - otherwise it will be useless

As a Mac user
I would have to agree that they are probably no use for playing games.

But given that I have no interest in computer games, that is not a problem for me. And for music my new Mac Pro is the bollocks!
