Lock out · DIGIT-ARC

This is regarding problem of a relative. She has a Compaq Laptop having Windows 7 Started Edition. Initially She had a single user in it - Administrator. It was working all right. One fine day, when she started it, it showed just one user on Login screen but the name is Compaq. She tried to login with the same old password but it did not work. since it is locked, login screen can't be changed to classic hence user name can't be changed. password breakers can be tried but is there any simple method / any explanation for this?
