Hi,

Im using Win XP SP2 professional and i uninstalled my modem software for orange broadband and speedtouch thomson 330 USB modem, then i restarted the pc. On reboot, i have to login which i never have had to do before. the Pc User button requires a password which i never assigned. ive tried Admin,admin etc. and even blank. when i enter a password which i havent got a clue what it is, says "the system cannot log you on because the domain LAN1 is not available"

this pc has never been part of a domain or server. nor have i ever had to log in to windows before. Please can anyone help? I understand that rebooting in safe mode and signing into administrator will help, but when I reboot in safe mode the pc turns off at the windows loading page. Please can anyone help? I have a lot of work and have no backup of my hard drive.

My pc is a dual core athlon 64 bit
windows xp Pro sp2
2gb ram

thanks, Marcos.

There is a default user account in Windows XP. The account is "administrator". Try this without a password and make sure are logging into the local computer and not a domain. There is a drop down menu underneath the password field.
