Boot into safe mode and select the Administrator login. It probably doesn't have any password. Then reset the password for your usual login and disable TweakUI's autologon.

I'm having a problem logging on to my WinXP SP2 system. Yesterday I did a couple of things: (1) I changed my login password to "nothing" (left blank) and (2) I asked TweakUI to automatically log me into my system. It seemed to work fine during a number of reboots while a friend was installing my high speed DSL service which, btw, seems to be working fine. I powered off my computer overnight. This morning I can't log into WinXP. On the opening login screen I am prompted to enter a password. Before this I briefly "see" the number of characters of my old password, which might be TweakUI trying to log me in. I've tried "nothing" and I've tried the old password. I've tried logging in with my usual system username and I've tried logging in as "Admin". I'm uncertain what to try next.... Can I somehow interrupt TweakUI from trying a autologin, which might give me an opportunity to manually login? Would the DSL setup have anything to do with my problem such as a change of username and/or password. Many thanks for any suggestions. -- Cheers, Stephen -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
