Guest howep20@yahoo.com Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 When I start my PC and the screen comes up it just says "To begin, click your user name" but there is nothing there to click so I can log in. On the PC I have these accounts-Administrator,1 user. and something called asp I think. The PC was working fine until I used a tweaking prog so I guess I did something wrong. But I can't get in! I've tried everything but nothing works. Thank-you
Guest Mick Murphy Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 RE: Help! No User Name On Login Screen Try tapping F8 right at power on to get to Safe Mode. If you can get to a list of options, use UP arrow to get to SM, hit ENTER. Do a System Restore from in there.

Guest Philipp Ott, Wien Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 RE: Help! No User Name On Login Screen Hi! Use F8 at boot (after BIOS init) to enter Windows in Safe Mode. This should let you open the control panel and use the user control panel. There switch to classic login and disable fast user switching. You could also use regedit (start->execute regedit <enter>) to search for any occurence of AutoAdminLogon (usually inside WinLogon) and if it's value it set to 1 change it to 0. All of this should bring back the normal (nt4/w2k/w2k3) login screen where you can enter name, password (and domain if configured) and hopefully login properly then. Regards

It goes back to the same login screen with no accounts. After using F8 I can get to- restore last good configuration, but that doesn't help either. > > Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore > -- > Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia > > "howe...@yahoo.com" wrote: > > When I start my PC and the screen comes up it just says "To begin, > > click your user name" but there is nothing there to click so I can log > > in.

Guest John John (MVP) Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Re: Help! No User Name On Login Screen Are you using XP Pro? If yes hit Ctrl+Alt+Del twice. What was the name of that "tweaking" program?

Guest Rey Santos Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 RE: Help! No User Name On Login Screen Did you use TweakUI? Hide User Account with Tweak UI http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/remove-user-accounts-from-the-login-screen-in-windows-xp/ At the login screen, just hit the Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination twice in a row, and you'll be presented with the old-school login screen, where you have to manually enter the username. Try using the user name and passwords of all users one at time until you get to windows and undo the tweak.
