XP REINSTALLING
Hi everyone, i'm new so i need help, i bought a Dimension C521, and i installed Windows XP Pro, all went ok, but i made 3 accounts, and i can't acces to them because it asks for a password for each account, i didn't put any passwords so i don't know what happened, that is one, the other thing i was thinking about, it's to install again XP on the same partition, but i don't know what could happen if i do so, what can i do?, i can't enter the computer and i don't have the drivers cd, what will happen if i format the partition?, how can i restore my computer to the "as shipped state"?, thanks
- the restore did not function right? or it did but it did not help.this will fix the restore partition if you didn't delete it.

Once XP is installed, install the chipset, notebook system software, video, audio, modem, network, touchpad and other drivers. drakcheshire

it didn't work, it only appears the welcome screen and the accounts, i can't enter in the administrator account in safe mode, it keeps asking for a pass for each one, however, what will happen if i install it again in the same partition?, thanks
