Thanks for the response, but that isn't it. It is a discrete security feature that will not let the OS load without a startup password. No services start. I have searched high and low on web sites on how to disable this and have had no luck. I guess the lesson is know what you configure before you configure it. Any further help would be much appreciated. TIA Rob
