Log Error - Can't Find Specified Domain
NEWBIE - I purchased and installed a Volume Licensed
Windows XP Professional operating system without getting the Administrator's password. I cannot log on. In Safe Mode, there is an Administrator account and a user account (no password) I created when I installed the software. Using tip in another email, I hit CNTL/ALT/DELETE twice quickly which brought up another log on screen for the Administrator only and when I hit enter (no password) I get the error that it cannot find the Specified Domain. How do I get around this rpoblem? |

How do I get around this rpoblem? I probably misunderstood part of your posting, so feel free to correct me if thats the case, but it sounds like you've not got a proper, legally licenced, copy of XP. If you are saying this copy of XP installs from the get go as a member of a domain (which is what your post suggests) then you've been given a custom build of XP which is intended for some company or other's internal use only, and is almost certainly only licenced that way too. There isn't much you can do, especially if it is a custom build, except ask whoever sold you this copy of XP for a proper copy instead. -- -- Rob Moir, Microsoft MVP for servers & security Website - http://www.robertmoir.co.uk Virtual PC 2004 FAQ - http://www.robertmoir.co.uk/win/VirtualPC2004FAQ.html Kazaa - Software update services for your Viruses and Spyware. |
