I just recently upgraded to windowsXP and when I
restarted my computer it asked for a password for a
generic user account. I did not assign a password during
the initial setup and therefore assumed I could just by
pass this screen. However, this was not the case. Now I
cannot get past the initial screen with the generic user
account which is asking me for a password I do not know.
Any suggestions?
