Guest mike rotch Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 i built a computer and installed windows xp on it. When i go to start the computer it boots up to the log in screen and there is no account to log into. When i start it up in safe mode however there is an Admin account. when i just hit enter (because it didnt ask for a password when installing) it says that i have the wrong password and wont let me log on. if someone else has had the same prolem and knows how to fix it any help would be appreciated.
