XP PRO Password

[Guest]

When I turn on my laptop XP Pro asks me to enter my password. It hasn't done
this before and I don't know my password. How can I get my password or
bypass this screen?
Thanks

Someone changed it ... I would really start with that premise. I
can't think of a single time in our company that a XP Pro machine has
spontaneously started or enabled this feature. Now that password is
doing what it's suppose to do. If you are NOT the administrator, then
you're in luck ... go visit the administrator. If you are the
administrator, I don't have any guidance for you.
