Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

i've reinstalled xp on a pc that had xp but with some files missing.this went
thru without probs and i put two user names in but with no passwords.now when
i start the pc it gets to the welcome page and asks for passwords.i've tried
pressing 'control+all+del' and typing 'administrator' and leaving the
password box blank but all i get is a message box saying i can't be logged in
because 'the specifieddomain either does not exist or cannot be contacted'.
it's driving me round the twist!!! can anyone help?

Try tapping the F8 key on starting or restarting computer,select safe mode,
enter xp as administrator,open users accounts in control panel,select,change
the way a user logs on,edit.You could also,temp change the account to
limited,
restart computer,then change back to desired setting(s).If xp has corrupted
/missing files,then install xp cd,exit the info page,go to run,type:cmd In
cmd
type:Sfc /Scannow
