re: password authentication system Friday, September 28, 2007 at 5:12 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by tony (1 messages posted) this isnt working for me im trying the same procedure you did. im at the screen that says #6WC3J71-595B is protected by a password authentication system. You cannot access the data on the computer without the correct password. Please type in the system or administrator pw and press enter. When i try to type in the pw i dont see any of the letters typing. The enter button is working correctly but idk about the others cuz i cant see them.
