When Win XP Home boots on my PC, I get no user login choice. Previous
to Win Update SP2 the PC booted direct to Windows Desktop. Here is
what I have done to resolve with no luck.
1. In Windows Mode. Performed 2 Cntr/Alt/Delete - Comes to the
standard login and lists my username but requires a password that I am
not able to remember.
2. Tried boot to safe mode and I get the same thing...no user name and
2 cntrl/alt/deletes brings me to the standard login requiring a
password in safe mode.
3. Tried safe mode and "Last Known Working Config" - - Did not work.

So, I am stuck at the XP Welcome Screen and not able to get into the
desktop. I would appreciate any help anyone can give. THANKS
 
Could it be that you did not have a password on either your account or
the administrator account?

Mungo: Thanks for replying so quickly. I believe that I did NOT set
either a Admin or User PW on the system. I did see this sight while
searching for a solution. I will investigate further. If anyone else
has any suggestions I would welcome them. Thanks again Mungo !!!
 
Munga and ALL : SUCCESS !!! I ran the XP repair function and got my
system log in back. I did lose my saved emails, but they needed to be
dumped anyway. All my URL's etc made it thru and I was able to access
everything. Took about 30 mins for the Repair to run. Best 30 minutes
I have ever spent !!! Happy Holidays PCMDPres
 
Now, if you have a floppy, make a Forgot NOT my Password floppy and
stick-pin it to the wall.
