I have a question about Get Rid of the Logon Screen:

I followed the instructions for XP sp2, used 'control userpasswords2, and clicked ok, now I can't get into my computer! (log on, password required). Question: If I toss the computer from the third floor window, will I be liable for damage to the cars below? Help! How do I get back in to re set my machine? Thanks, Tom

The solution there is incomplete, you should select the account to log on automatically in the box below that checkbox and only then uncheck the box. Hey, webmaster, where are you?

I think it wants to log on automatically on the default "administrator" account. Did you set a password for it? If not, try with no password. Do you see the "welcome screen" or the old style logon dialog? If you see the "welcome screen", press ctrl-alt-del twice to bring the old logon dialog and enter Administrator with no password (or with password if you have one). Repeat the procedure and uncheck that box then log on normally and do it right.

Borg: Thanks so much! I'm getting a "Log On to Windows" box, with Windows Home Edition Splash with Copyright info & Microsoft, etc. Below that, it has the User Name Box (ie: Administrator) and the Password Box (Blank) I have never used a password, ie: leave it blank... When I hit the OK, I get a window "Logon Message "Unable to log you on because of an account restriction Borg, trust me, you fix this, I will fax you cash! Really, I hung up man, this is worse than what my old lady does to my body parts! Ha!! Thanks for any help... Tom
