- WinXP welcome screen password work-around?
- Posted by Marko on September 22nd, 2007
I have a friend who's running WinXP (home edition, on a refurbished Everet)
who committed a typo resetting the welcome screen password and now can't
gain access to her desktop.
Is there any way to get around that mistake, other than frantic trial-and-
error or restoring the OS?
Thank you for taking the time.

time?

At the user prompt type in:
administrator
for password just press ENTER
if you get in go to control panel/user accounts and get a new password
for the account you messed up. Leave the admin account as is.
