| 224675 | 2004-03-23 22:13:00 | My son has a laptop with Win XP. His problem is that when he boots up, the welcome screen has no user names there to log on with, can anyone suggest a solution? | goldie145 (5436) | ||
| 224676 | 2004-03-23 22:48:00 | Hi goldie145, Welcome to PressF1 :-) He'll need to login as the Administrator account and re-create some user accounts. When the Welcome Screen appears, hit Ctrl + Alt + Del twice and you'll get switched to the Classic Login. From there, type in the username Administrator, and whatever you set your Administrator password to. Hope this helps Chill. |

| 224677 | 2004-03-24 20:46:00 | Thanks for your reply, my son says he cannot remember setting up an administrator account, therefore has no idea of a password for it,would this have been done prior to purchase? Is there a standard password? |

| 224679 | 2004-03-24 21:39:00 | If he cannot remember the password, then he's in trouble.... My only thoughts are booting from Knoppix and removing the SAM file to clear the password... I cant see any other way past this otherwise.... Chill. |

| 224680 | 2004-03-24 22:09:00 | If it asks for a password try just pressing Enter with the password field blank. If that doesn't work, get in touch with the dealer the laptop came from for advice. | Susan B (19) | ||
