I installed XP Pro Service pack 1a on the old computer, which has
never had a password on it, as the interent is not used on that
computer. After it has taken me several ours to uninstall
everything necessary to install windows XP, it finally completes
installation. It asks me for the names to create accounts on the
Pc, so i only type in one name as it is a shared PC. I did not set
any password at all yet the PC is asking for a password to log into
XP.
I cannot even get to the start menu so any instructions that way
are kind of pointless. Please help as i may just destroy the PC
physically very shortly.
Create the following CD and boot from it:
http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/
Use it to reset the administrator password (blank it) and reboot/try again
with no password.
(You'll be able to choose the user to blank the password for.)
If that fails and this computer was hooked up to the Internet with SP1a or
before for any length of time - there's a chance... it was
infested/infected and that is the real issue.
