Hi,

i have XP SP2 installed on a laptop at home,
it was a version i downloaded (XP BLack) however i wanted to set a
password on the pc so that only i have access to it,

so i went to user account in the CP and set a password on the admin
a/c,
i also ensure that the guest a/c was turned off,

then i restarted,

however it did not prompt me for pw at loadup,
instead everytime its booted it logs straight into the admin ac without
any pw's being entered,

if i logout or click switch user i do get promted for a pw upon
entering,
however this isnt really helpfull if all people have to do is click
restart to get onto the pc,

i've had a look around but cant see a solution to this if anyone has
any ideas it would be great,

thanks a million,

sisco.
 
Hi Leonard,

i simply installed xp black because i didnt like the vista crap tha
came with the pc,

Now have you anything helpfull to suggest with the issue,

Thanks
 
So, why would you expect help for pirated Microsoft software in a Microsoft
owned newsgroup? Probably ignorance.

And know that if someone has physical access and time - unless you encrypted
the data - it's all theirs anyway. A password is only useful if it follows
good physical security. A boot CD and a few minutes alone with the machine
will give them full access - as would just booting from another type of CD
and as would just making an image of the hard drive...

What part of "XP Black" do you need assistance with, Shenan!?

I understood it and pointed out in a way of my choosing.

Your ignorance is not my problem.
 
Hey Shenan,

Thanks for the reply,

i had'nt realised this forum was linked to microsoft,

next time sonny/eddie it may be an idea to explain this fact to ne
users instead of jumping down their throats and starting abuse,

if this had been done i would have gladly taken my Q elsewhere
