Just a guess, but have you gone into the accounts passwords from Safe mode and set the Admin password?

Start

Run

control userpasswords2 

I think if you also have admin authority, you can set this..

I can't get into safe mode either. See my previous post: error, cannot enter computer, blue screen of death!!!! (Software). I got a reply to fix my boot problem via recovery console but for that you need the password.

When you say you tried putting blank, do you mean you typed the word blank into the password box? If so that is not correct. Unless the Aministrator password was set, there isn't one: don't type anything in the password box.

gluark,

If JRosenfeld didn't identify the problem, two program which may be used to change (or blank) the password are here and here.

I typed nothing for the password, just hit enter but didn't work. Also tried other obvious guesses. I tried doing what is written in the first link given by the previous post, but when I get to step 6 there is no option to repair and press R, you can either press Enter to install windowsxp again or press D/C to delete/create the partition. My Windowsxp sofware was delivered as a package with my pc, so it's an OEM-sofware, don't know if that's the reason. I will next try the second link.

Yes!!!!! It worked!!!! I changed the password with the boot reset disk given on the second link. Thanks Denny Denham!!!
