my computer hasn't worked right for about a month now. i have win-xp and
upon startup get no user accounts to sign in with. my anti-virus recently
found a trojan of unknown origin, but since has found nothing. a friend said
to try to repair xp with my xp cd. tried to do this but was asked for my
admin password. i never set my computer up with one. i'm locked out of
working on my computer and don't know how to get past a password i didn't set
so i can try and fix my user accounts problem. make any sense? any
suggestions?
