Hi - I hope someone may be able to help I recently had to reinstall (format C:\) Win XP Home initially because of a power failure. I thought it had fried the HD, but it hadn't. I did this successfully (7 year old system, 30 Gb C drive2 Gb RAM 100+ Gb HDD.) I use it mainly for non internet. Recently it has been taking me to User Login boot screen, unnecessary for me because I'm a sole user and usually log in to desktop. After reading advice I did this, and only this: I went to Run > control userpasswords2 and unticked where it said: Users must enter a Username and password to use this computer. That's all. Now I'm locked out. These are the details: Turn on normally > Windows starts normally, 1 minute then goes to this panel: Unable to log you on because of an account restriction. At this point, mouse and keyboard are frozen. Stop. Try again: Tap F8 during boot. This takes me to Boot Menu > Select first boot device > choices are Removable disc, HDD, CDRom, LAN But again mouse and keyboard are frozen. Stop. Try again: Hold down Del key during boot up. This takes me to BIOS - CMOS Setup Utility. Now at least I have use of the keyboard, but I don't know what to do next. Is there any way. At the moment I don't think I could even do a reinstall! Any help gratefully received Russell
