Logon Problem

I was having an error message appear when I was logging on to my computer.
So I thought that if I changed the way I logged on, it may fix it. Bad
mistake! I changed the logon setting from the Windows Welcome Screen to the
Classic logon window. I restarted the computer and it's asking for the User
name and password. I don't remember ever setting up a password! Now I can't
log on to the computer at all. Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks!

After getting back in again, seize control instead of sailing
along on the strength of some half forgotten account name
and unknown password. Create an account for yourself,
plus a password, then keep a record of it in a safe place!

Re: Logon Problem

I tried that and it didn't work. Any other ideas?

Re: Logon Problem

Have a look at the item "unknown password", posted
just three hours before your own question.
