Installing XP home

[Guest mike rotch]

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.

Hi Mike,

 

From here I would either do a repair install or start over. Good luck!

As in a new built pc with hds from older pc with xp installed,with the new

pc,boot to xp cd,select install xp,delete the partition,create one,then let

xp

format & perform a clean install.
