I just finished an XP install and cannot login. I left
the administrator password blank, but I cannot login using
administrator as the username with a blank password. I
tried booting in 'safe mode', but it still wouldn't allow
me in. What am I doing wrong? I selected "No Network or
login to local workgroup" and my workgroup name
is "Workgroup". Again, I left the administrator password
blank.
