Password Entry

I am using Windows XP on my computer. I just put in a new
motherboard and CPU, everything else stayed the some.
After reactivating it with Microsoft I am getting a screen
requiring a user name and password. This is a screen I
have never seen before and it comes before the normal
password screen in windows, but it said Windows on it. I
have never had a password and have no idea what to put in
for a user ID or a password. Can anyone tell me how to
make whatever change is meeded to get rid of the password
request (reset it etc.). I need help ASAP since I can't
get onto my computer and I have some important work that I
need to do. Thanks for your help. Craig

Jupiter,

Thanks for the info, but the password that I am being
asked for is coming before I even get into the Windows XP
password phase. The screen has Windows XP printed on it,
but I have never seen this type of a password screen
before. It almost seem like it thinks that I haven't
registered the system???

Craig

Sounds like the NT log in box.
Type "Administrator"
And use the password or leave password blank.

Or enter another user name and the password.
