Unhappy WinXP Home


Help,
I've just loaded this on a work computer and all went fine untill it got to the guest log in screen. It's asking for a password and I haven't set one up. I can't get any further. :bigcry:
Is there anything I can do or is it a case of formatting and starting again.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

press F8 right after the bios screen so you can go into safe mode. Log in as Administrator and then you can change the guest account.

Tried that, it's still asking for a password!
Any other ideas?
Thanks

if you didn't set a password try leaving it blank and press enter?

Otherwise you are looking at a fresh install. Doing a repair install will still ask you for the admin password...

I hope you are going to use Mr. Steveo's OS install guide:
