Please, please, help....no idea how to fix this. Even if the answer is that
I'm SOL and have to re-install WinXP. Just hoping there's another way....
I wanted to get rid of that annoying login screen on my home computer (which
is running Win XP Pro) so it would go straight to desktop upon startup. I
went into Control Panel -> User Accounts -> advanced tab -> advanced user
management. In there, I right clicked each user and went to properties where
I checked the "Account is Disabled" box for each user. I THOUGHT that this
would eliminate the necessity for the login requirement. I also thought that
Windows would have some sort of safeguard built in to save us from ourselves.
It doesn't...now when I try to start up my computer, it brings up the login
screen and no matter what I try to login in as, even as Administrator, it
tells me that my account has been disabled
and to contact my administrator. Is there a way to back-door this to get in
and re-enable myself? I'm still able to get into Win2K (have both OSs
installed) but cannot re-enable thru it. Any ideas?
