Missing security code to log in
« on: October 30, 2009, 07:15:36 PM »
My computer now is asking me for a password when I try to log in. I have never had a password to log on the the computer.. I have a password to log on to the internet, but that doesnt work to log on to the computer.. I tried running in safe mode but it is asking me for a password even for the admin log on... I have tried to download one of those software items that would erase the passwords in windows and it worked at first but then after i rebooted again it went right back to asking me for a password and now I try useing the software and it says it deleted the passwords but when i go to log in it still ask me for a password, UGH! I am running windows XP.. Any thought would be very helpful and I would be VERY gratefull to you,,, Thanking you in advanced!!!

Hi allgood49, and Welcome to SH ;D

I presume you posted this from a different computer?

I have posted a note about this problem in your thread containing your HJT log - http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php?topic=5468.0 - for the benefit of anyone who picks that one up.

I'm sure you will understand that it is not in the best interests of a security forum to post information on bypassing logins and passwords - the usual cure is a reformat & reinstall.  However, I will keep this thread open until you receive a reply in the HJT forum.
