Hi,

I just built a new computer. During install you have to put in one user name so I did with no password. All going well.. NOT. Have been updating drivers, SP2, SP3, etc. Install Firewall, restart and it asks for password. I have never made a password. Try all the default usual ones and nothing. Won't start Windows XP Pro. Shut down and wait a few mins. Start back up asks for password click with blank as password and Windows starts. Upgrade some more things. Install few things. Restart and asks for password. Hit blank and says "Don't have password for restricted account." Shut down, wait, reboot and same thing. 4th try reboot and asks for password press on blank and Windows starts.

It's possessed... HELP PLEASE
