Hi Warrick, looking a some other forums the suggestion might be that you download a copy of maywarebytes and run a scan and see if it detects any problems as you may have a Trojan.

It's an issue with IE, it's ok with Firefox.

I wonder why it's not happening in any other threads/posts ?

Looks like it's about time to give IE the flick.

Definately IE only here, Firefox is fine.
Edit : Also fine on Google Chrome.

I'm running IE9 beta and can see the same crap must be an ie thing

Although I don't normally use I.E. (I have used Firefox for years now), it gives the same problem here with IE6.

Both Firefox and Safari render the page correctly.

You can just change the password using the 'net user' command.
Boot into the command line or open the command prompt and type:

net user Administrator *

It will ask you for the new password.

More info on the net user command:
