Re: Help Please Someone!

From all of the banter in this thread, you may have to save your
documents etc and start from scratch.

This is what should have been done first and none of the other BS...
__control userpasswords2__
[ ] Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer....

i tried doing that but nothing happened i cant even switch users when i
tried to login as Administrator and press enter it said there was an
account restriction. also when i tried to restart it i was pressing the F8
key but it didnt go to safe mode and didnt do anything. i also found out
that i am using XP Home, but will it let me reboot the whole thing again
or reinstall Windows or will that just stuff everything up and lose all my
documents? thank you by the way

anymore and i changed the computer administrator to another account, in
which now has disappeared and now my owner account is a limited account
and it will not let me do anything it tells me to keep asking my
computer administrator when i dont even know where that went! all i
want is to not log in when i turn the computer on, like i used to. i
have windows xp and a hp computer but i dont know much about computers
so if someone can help me as soon as possible with it that would be
very much apprieciated thank you from yvonne

If your machine is running XP Home then restart and repeatedly tap the
F8 key as the machine starts up, this will get you into Safe Mode. Be
patient eventually you will get to the log in screen, login as
Administrator, DO NOT enter a password just hit enter (The built in
Administrator password is blank by default in XP Home), make the
required changes to the accounts from control panel/Users.

Anotherway is Go to http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ . There
you will find
zip files that will let you create boot floppy disks or bootable CDs
that will enable you to reset any system password on an NT class
operating system (XP is an NT class operating system).
