incorrect login/password
At start-up the username and password for the computer no
longer work. I tried to do a system restore (to a previous period) but the password and login name still do not work to start windows. Trying to start in safe mode or starting to get a command prompt have also failed. Is there any other means to by-pass the secuirty login and password to get to my desktop??? |

You *should* be able to bypass the password by selecting the Cancel button.
However, you might find this KB article helpful:- "How to Prevent a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me Logon Prompt at Startup" http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;152104 When it comes to setting up again, then if you no longer want a password, enter a name but do not enter any password at all, then click OK. DO NOT "cancel". As you will have realized, this is not very secure password system. If you want something a bit more secure, check-out Doug Knox's "Secure Your Computer" free utility at the following URL:- http://www.dougknox.com/security/validated.htm WARNING!!
