I have a machine here with a possible drive problem but the W2K logon page is really weird. When I try the logon the message saying "go away you have the wrong password" is angled up at 45degrees! Is this is a virus anyone has heard of?
 
I've seen a funny program doing such things. it doesn't harm but it wont let you in probably.
if you boot the machine into safe mode and have a look inside the registry here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Shell = ??? should be explorer.exe and might be replaced by a different file
 
I'm assuming that you're trying to log onto a network, and the admin has a bit of a sense of humor in reporting the wrong password, or was this part of the "weird logon"
