    Hi

    I restarted my computer today and the usual login window opened. Usually I enter my password and up she loads. For some reason the user name displayed 'the user'. This is not my username and I now cannot remember it.

    Can anyone offer assistance?

    Thanks in advance.

    have you tried 'administrator' as username?
    if that doesn't work, you could use ntpasswd program (google it), back up your data and reinstall.(assuming someone was playing with it, you never know what's on it now)
