I select 1, which is the only one listed, and the only version i have installed. Then it asks for a password. I never set up a password. Is there anything i can do to repair this. I dont want to lose every thing on my drive. Is there a default password or something? Please help.
Windows xp crashed on my computer--it says to insert the install?norten
If you are absolutely certain you didn't have an administrator password on the machine and hitting enter by itself doesn't bypass the screen... then it's time to condier the following:
If this is a computer that you received from your employer, the desktop support people sometimes will install an administrator password. If this is the case, they should have a record of the password.
If this is a computer you purchased from a reliable vendor such as Dell... then the same concept as above may apply.. and you should give them a call and see if they have your system configured as such.
If you purchased the computer secondhand then it is entirely possible that the prior owner had one set up and you will need to contact them for the password.
If none of that applies then you may have to purchase a pasword cracking program...
