96854 2002-11-07 08:37:00 Hi everyone. On my Windows Xp Pro, I changed setting so that Windows requires login name & password for security. But when rebooted name & password don't work, so can't get in! Other than reformatting - how else can I get back in? Thanks... debbi (2474)

Change the user name to Administrator, type in the Admin password, and you should be in. Now you can go and change the password of the other user accounts so that they work properly.

You can also try no password for administrator as people often do not enter one.
