Hello:

If you remember the Administrator password, try going in under Safe Mode.

Has anyone else had access to your computer? Someone with physical access to it could have set up the password, as well as remote access through a backdoor.

I doubt if it is a virus, as I've not heard of one so targeted. But it could be a malware problem - perhaps somebody tricked you into installing remote access software and used it to install the password.
