I previously asked for help on how to bypass the logon
process and go directly to the desktop on Windows XP and
got a response on how to do this. I have now encountered
the following problem...when I applyed the new settings
and restarted the computer there was a prompt to enter a
password. I don't have one and read online that sometimes
the computer gives you a temporary password if the setup
process for XP dosen't finish properly, so now I am logged
out of the computer without being able to follow the
password recovery process...any advice on how to get to
the desktop at this point?
