Re: Can't logon to my computer 2

First, many people use OE Newsreader to read posts (or some newsreader other
than the online version), and it is very difficult to read posts from the
online version. It is very slow and even with a 17-19" screen very
confining. That may be why you have not gotten results.

Second, the Administrator account at BIOS level has nothing to do with
Windows XP.

Third, have you tried using Safe Mode Command Prompt and when prompted to
enter Administrator account (or User account), enter Administrator and when
prompted for password, chose hit Enter?

If that has failed, you can download a utility: Reset Administrator SAM
password that will wipe out the Administrator password so that you can login
with no password.

Search Google for Reset Administrator SAM password. The file I have is for
Floppy but I'm sure you can download a CD version.

Follow instructions from web-site.

Also, I suggest you create yourself a Restore Password Disk, under User
Accounts, Prevent a Forgotten Password

I posted a problem I am having with logging on to my computer a couple days
ago and the solution that I have recieved thus far have not worked. The
original post is at this link:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/reader.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsxp.general&mid=1f75e5f4-894f-4d8a-a240-418cd82c6573

I attempted to use the Shift + F10 loophole in the XP Installation Repair
process. When I entered the command console and typed NUSRMGR.CPL at the
command prompt I recieved a "User Account" message that stated the
following:

"The current user account is not recognized. Restart the computer and
then
open User Accounts."

Since I can not log on to open User Accounts, this message offers no help
to
me. Has this happened to anyone else and how would I go about resolving
this
problem (if possible to resolve on my own,) short of having to re-install
the
OS and losing the existing data on my computer? Would a data recovery
service be needed (or is that a bit overboard for the current problem?)

Thanks in advance for any input and thank you to those who helped with my
previous query.

Regards,
TDL
