Cant log in...........
« on: April 09, 2004, 04:06:10 PM »
So heres my problem.  I'm running Windows XP Pro on my laptop and i wanted to connect it to my desktop with a crossover cable.  So, i had to change the laptop from a domain to a workgroup.  I did that and it said that the change wouldnt be in affect until i restarted.  I restarted and when it came back up, no combination of username/password would work.  I cant log in to my own computer and i have work that i need to do.  Someone please help!  Thanks.

Try 'administrator' (assuming I spelled it right  ;D); that is a default account on most XP systems. You may want to try a password reset tool you can download and put on bootable floppy; however, don't use if you have anything encrypted in Windows, and may have other warnings. This is a dark tip article from TV show The Screen Savers which can help you do this:

Hope this helps; good luck!
