password

[kanun]

I tried to repair my Windows XP but it keeps asking for Administator password . When I originally installed Windows ,I didn't use any password . Is there any way to get around this?

Reinstall Windows.

Have you tried just pressing Enter when it asks for a password?

It sounds like you are trying to use the repair console. What are you going to do when you get in there? You will be at a DOS prompt.

If you are using the repair console, just hit enter

If you are trying to access windows itself then you are pretty much screwed unless you buy a program that can by pass it, which is legitmate/ legal and very expensive

I know I have one

There are free solutions out there, as with most anything else.

Sorry about that, understood.

I did buy the Windows CD about 2 years ago,but when I installed it, I think it asked for an Administrator password but I didn't put one in as I didn't know what an administrator was!

Then you should simply be able to hit "enter" when it asks. I still want to know why you are trying to use the console.

Sorry I asked about the password , I just reinstalled XP and did not bother with the password stuff.
