|  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.

| 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...
