Can't log in to XP
After trying to install a Lynksys product my computer hung up and now I can't
get in to XP. When I start the computer I get a black scren with a little login box that comes up with the user id as "default". It wants a password that I obviously don't have. Last time I started it it beeped twice which it has never done before. Any help would be apprieciated. Thank You

Here's a site that tells you what different beep codes mean.
http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml Were you inside the PC installing hardware or was it a software install that caused this? If the latter, give Lynksys support a call.

You failed to mention what product you installed, that would help also...
But the logon screen you state seems to be a default screen for Linksys so I would use the Username as blank (empty) and the password as Admin.

Last time I started it it beeped twice which it has never done before. Any help would be apprieciated. This sounds like a request for a BIOS password. It also sounds like you may have hardware failure. 1. If you or someone in your household never set a BIOS password, try just hitting the Enter key (for a blank password). If that doesn't help and this is a desktop computer, pull the motherboard battery to reset the motherboard back to factory condition and clear the request for the password. Some motherboards can reset to defaults by changing jumper settings, so refer to your motherboard manual. 2. If the (unnamed) Linksys product is still connected to your computer (such as a USB wireless network adapter), unplug it before turning on your computer and see if it will go into Windows. More details about your computer (make/model/type/approx. age, etc.) and the "Linksys product" will get you more focused answers. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

Apparently, she knows much more than you do.
OP stated: "When I start the computer I get a black scren with a little login box that comes up with the user id as "default". It wants a password that I obviously don't have. Last time I started it it beeped twice which it has never done before." That is a clear indication that OP has not gotten into Windows! Aren't you familar with BIOS beep codes?
