no password

02-09-2005

Help! I downloaded a windows xp update on Sunday, and now when I turn my
compter on Windows wants a password. For a user name the default is
"Owner"-but the problem is - I never had any password. Any suggestions?

Hi

Please try this:

Boot into Safe Mode (tap F8 repeatedly early in the computer/Windows
startup process)

Select "Last Known Good Configuration"
