Guest Nurmi Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 On booting I am informed on the screen: "The system could not log on. User name and domain name are correct. Then Type your password again!" I have complied. Failure to sign on. I have changed my password. Nil effect. I have deleted my password and name. Left is the administrator log on. Nil effect. It's a nuisance no more, cause by clicking on the message, the next screen shows administrator box and clicking on it boots-up the PC. I would like to solve the problem though. Thanks! -- Nurmi

Some time later you changed your password but did not align the password for the automatic process. You must now adjust the automatic process so that it uses the correct account name and password. Here is a description of one of the usual automated logon processes: http://www.wikihow.com/Enable-Automatic-Logon-in-Windows-XP.
Guest Nurmi Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Re: failure to log on Hi Pegasus, I followed your instr. The box for "User must enter....." was already clear. The List of Users for this computer shows 1. Administrator 2. ASPNET (my guess is its for guests,) and 3. Richard. 1 and 2 are listed under Administrator. In User Account (control panel) only Richard and Guest are shown. Follwoing the instr. I clicked on the box, typed a password, retyped password, deleted 1 above, cleared the box and clicked to close the Automatically Log On window. After restarting the PC the result was no "auto log on" the system could still not log on. I then retraced your recommended steps, and found that the 1. User Name which I had delelted, is still No 1 in the greyed out area of Users for this compunter. -- Nurmi "Pegasus (MVP)" wrote: > > "Nurmi" <Nurmi@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:0DAA1B55-01DF-45DC-9DD0-3D6C5805FC91@microsoft.com... > > On booting I am informed on the screen: > > "The system could not log on.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Re: failure to log on The link I gave you is only one of several methods to perform an automatic logon. Another method is TweakUI, a third is a direct registry hack. I have no way of knowing which method you used.

Guest Nurmi Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: failure to log on I used the "control userpasswords2" without quotes" Thinking I made a mistake, I repeated the excercise and had some success. However one of the two msgs remained. It read: If you have forgotten your password and wish to use your password reset disk to set a new password for your account, press "Reset..." I did with nil result. I would appreciate to try the other methods you mentioned. Can you give me the URLs?
