I have windows xp home. A friend gave me their old computer. They have
children who set up 3 users, since I did not need users I tried to delete
one
of them , make one limited for guest and keep the administrator account
everything went fine, I thought. After I logged out and logged back in
all
the account were gone except one, the that was limited. I cant switch
users it only allows me to log off. I tried a few things but nothing seem
to work. I did go into safe mode and get the administrator user name but
the password
I chose doesnt work, at least I think its the password I chose. I going
to
try a few more things I notice today. I hope the work. If not please
help me, right now I just have a e-mail machine everything is locked out
cant download cant install.
Used computer = do a clean install. No exceptions. If your friend didn't
give you the installation media, get it or you will need to purchase the
operating system you want to run.
If it is an OEM machine (HP, Sony, etc.) the machine may have an image on
the hard drive that will enable you to restore to factory condition. Or you
can contact the OEM and order restore disks. Otherwise:
