Re: Log-In Problems.
If you didn't set a password just hit enter & you should go straight in.
If', somehow, you inadvertently set a password my only suggestion is re-install. |

Re: Log-In Problems.
While you were installing XP Pro did you enter a passowrd during the install?
Did you type in your user name set while installing windows not entring a password and hit enter? In safe mode did you try choosing admin account without putting in a password?

Re: Log-In Problems.
you could try using Austrumi to reset your password. With this yoiu can "blank" that is reset windows passwords far quicker than reinstalling windows

"when i press F8 to boot in safe mode and select admin. there is a password for that too."
Please read the problem before giving inappropriate replies. Also googling "Austrumi" gives no solution.............. |
