Screen. You'll get the old Win2K style login. Enter Administrator, and = any password that you may have set on this account during installation. = If in doubt, just leave the password blank. For XP Home, you must boot the computer into Safe Mode to access the = built in Administrator account. Press the F8 key between the BIOS POST = and Windows actually starting to load. You'll see the Administrator = account on the Welcome Screen. =20 Note: Changing an account password from another account can cause all = "stored passwords" to become invalid (web sites and etc.). --=20 Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows Media Center\Windows Powered Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Per user Group Policy Restrictions for XP Home and XP Pro http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
