User account's password changes randomly...virus? Any ideas?

[Guest JonF]

Windows XP Home, 6 different user accounts, password is the same for all 6

accounts, randomly, during user account log on/off, the password will not be

accepted, reboot the system and the password works again. Its random,

password will work for 2 hours then stop working, reboot password will work

again. Funny thing is, the password hint is still correct but the password no

longer works. Is my password file being corrupted? Any help is appreciated.

possibly a hard disk error, or getting ready to fail.
