Hi,

I use Windows XP and I wanted to log in when computer starts without filling my username and password. So I followed those steps (from here:
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000536.htm).

Click Start, and then Run.
Type Control Userpasswords2 and press Enter.
Uncheck the box next to for Users must enter a username and password to use this computer.
Click Apply, and then Ok.

Now, when Windows starts, I get this message:
"The system could not log you on. Make sure your username and domain are correct, then type your password again. Letters in password must be typed using the correct case".

I try to log as Administrator without no password (I didn't have a password for Administrator), but it doesn't work.

My question: It is possible to check again that box if I enter with a live CD? How to bypass the login step?

Thanks.

Then your next best bet is to re-install Windows XP.

Discussions on how to bypass security measures are not allowed on Tom's Forums. We have no means to verify that the system in question is yours.

None of the methods should have changed whatever passwords were previously in use.
