Can't Log In!

GSAV55 · 12-04-2007, 02:43 AM

While I was at school my dad setup all the computers in the house on a server, and I'm pretty sure he put a different version of windows XP on my computer. But now when I try to log in I can only log into the new account, and I don't have any of my settings or files on it, just the programs.

When I try to log into my computer, I can't. It basically says that I need to enter the correct username and password, but I dont have a username and password on that account, and now I cant access any of my files or settings. How do I log into my actual computer?

Thanks.

Try logging on using safe mode. This should allow you to see the Administrator account. Next, go to the control panel and click user accounts. Click the remove password icon. Just reboot and it should work.
