when logging off to switch to a different user account or if the screen saver
comes on and returns to welcome screen windows says there is a password on
each login when there are no passwords on any and the computer needs to be
rebooted. also i cloned the hard drive recently onto a new one but it still
detects things from the old one even tho it is no longer present and i cannot
reinstall certain things such as norton systemworks because it says there are
newer versions but they are nowhere to be found so i cannot remove them any
help on how to fix either of these problems would be great thanks :)

Please start each sentence with an upper case letter, and use an occasional
period or comma. Hopefull then someone can read it and answer your
questions.

ok well,
i know there are no passwords because i set up the comp myself and its just
a home pc

it adds passwords on switch user or if the comp goes to the screen saver and
then returns to logon screen, but the problem does not happen on start up

reseting passwords will achive nothing beecause there are none set and even
when i set one for any of the accounts it is not the same as the one windows
expects me to enter

the problem has been there since installing windows on a new hard drive.
before any updates have been added. but even now after all current updates
are on same problem.

I can barely follow what you are saying, please use capitals and
punctuation.

It sounds like this is your system .
You do not have passwords on any of the accounts (though why you would know
what passwords are on all the accounts is good question).

Your system goes to a state through any number of normal proccesses that
asks for a password to let you back in.

You don't know this "phantom" password.

Have you tried r-clicking my computer, going to manage, and using the users
control panel to reset the passwords?

You are asking for help, and have been asked to use capital letters, and
punctuation to make your post understandable but still can't manage that.
Don't be too surprised if you don't get much help.

what the hell is your problem im asking for help on a computer issue not a
bloody english lesson.

I cant make it much more simple then paragraphing each sentence so u can see
each aspect of the problem.

Ooooo no i didnt use punctuation, seriously its not that hard to read!!!!
thanks to those who werent petty and actualy offered some help. To the others
try and be helpfull with what is being asked instead of creating new problems.

Can you not offer constructive advice other than being another net nanny?
