I recently purchased a computer running Windows XP Professional from a repo
auction at self-storage unit. The problem I am having is that when I turn it
on the welcome screen comes up and then a window on top of it that provides a
user name and requires a password. The computer did not come with system
disks of any sort. Is there a way to bypass this pop up window? It is very
much like the login window of Windows 98. The computer will not allow me to
even start in safe mode with out this password. Is there a way to get to MS
DOS and either retreive this password or remove this completely? I did not
know that Windows XP has this capability.
