System error lsass.exe:

[kjabe]

When trying to get on my computer using Windows XP Home Edition, this error comes up:

System error lsass.exe:
When trying to update a password the return status indicates that the value provided as the current password is not correct.

I accessed the Microsoft help page but have yet to get in touch with someone. Can someone help me so I don't have to use Microsoft's support? Thank you.
