Hi Roger,
This is new to me so please be patient. I don't think a password was ever
created for me
in XP Pro. Is that possible? I looked in User Accounts and there are two
accounts set up. One says, "Jim-Computer 02,
Computer Administrator". The other says, "ASP.NET Machine A...Limited
account, Password protected". I don't know anything about ASP.NET account.

There is also a link on the User Accounts page to "Create a password". If I
click that link, it brings up a screen with "Create a password for your
account" with three blank fields: 1. Create. 2. Confirm. 3. Hint. Is it
possible that a password has never been created for me? What I should do?
Just type a password of my choosing in the field for Jim-Computer 02,
Computer Administrator? Can I safely delete the ASP.NET Machine A...Limited
account? Thank-you.
