I have no idea what happened here. I turned my labtop off, left it for a
while turned it back on and all of a sudden it wanted a password to log on.
I've asked for it to require a password before. And not along did it require
a password for the owner but also for the guest! After a minute a box popped
up that said "the instruction at 0x76b2398c referenced memory at 0x00000000.
The memory could not be read."

Is there like a universal default password that the computer would use if
something like this occurs? Can anything be done or is it reformat time?
I'm using Windows XP Home by the way.

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:
I meant to say that I've "never" required a password before.
