Windows XP Pro I was attempting to disable the Logon screen at Startup. I
went to the User profile box and un-clicked the box " require users to
log-on with password" a dialog box came up asking for admin password - I
have never set one up and left the boxes blank. Now I am locked out. Message
is: System could not log you on. make sure username and password are correct
. . etc." The user name is Administrator and now I have no idea what
password to use. leaving it blank doesn't work anymore.
