I've been using Windows XP on my computer for 3 years, from the time I
purchased the computer. I've never had the login screen that most people have
where it asks you to choose a user before it opens Windows. When I went to
boot up my computer today, that screen appeared. Unfortunately, there are no
user profiles or icons to click on. So I can't get into Windows. I've tried
clicking around the screen in case I couldn't see the icon. If I hit crtl alt
del twice I get to a dialogue box that lets me login manually, so I've tried
logging in as the adminstrator and trying the obvious default passwords. I've
also tried to login w/out providing a user name or password since I don't
think I have any set up. Nothing works. The only option available to me from
the dialogue box is to shut down, restart or hibernate. So I effectively
can't get into Windows at all. All of the support literature I've read
assumes I can at least get into Windows. I even tried to put in a request to
MS support, but I need the license number, which it counsels me to look for
from within Windows. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can get back
into Windows. Thanks.
