Usernames not showing up.

[Guest Runner]

I recently downloaded windows steadystate. It then restarted my computer for

an update about an hour or two later. It restarted, I got to the welcome

screen, and I couldn't see any usernames nor the turn-off button. I restarted

my computer, tried to log on in safe mode, and still no usernames. Could

someone possibly help me?

Try this:

Start > Run, type "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes) > OK. In the

users tab, click to check the box "Users must enter a user name and password

to use this computer". OK.

If you can get to the Welcome screen, hit the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys twice.

This should bring up the Logon to Windows dialog. See if you can enter a user

name and password. If you can logon, you might want to run System Restore to

undo that changes that were made by the update.

 

Good luck

Yeah, but that's just it. I can't log into my computer at ALL. =/

See if you can log on with the built-in Administrator account. Enter

Administrator in the User Name box and a password if you configured one for this

account.

 

If you have Windows XP Home Edition installed on your computer, you'll have to

start the computer in Safe mode in order to logon with this account. Restart

your computer and keep hitting the F8 key until you see the Windows Advanced

Options menu. Use the up arrow to select Safe Mode.

 

Good luck

THis doesn't work on my XP machine. Safe mode get me more of the same - I

can't even go into the bios setup and reset the passwords through the

security settings. Anyone have any other ideas before I have the hard drive

scanned at my local service center?
