    pretty sure a virus has locked me out of Vista after downloading a torrent file. Which is my fault I wasn't familiar with the user.

    Now my login screen says other user with a black login icon and ofcourse no passwords work.

    What is my best course of action in situation. Need help asap this computer has years of data stored on it. Wiping it is not an option.

    Thanks for the help
