Subject: windows passwords now don't work

I finally figured out how to use john so I wanted to perform a test and see 
if I couldn't create a more secure password.  When I went to change my 
password I kept getting an error message that the "password entered was 
incorrect".  So what better to do than rerun john and make sure what my 
passwords were.  John came up with the same passwords that it had cracked 
before and which were what I thought they were.  Can anybody tell me what's 
going on?  I created another admin account before rebooting my system just 
to make sure I could still do some work.  On the reboot my old passwords 
still did not work.
