Waymon

Can someone tell me what to use for a recovery console
admin password (administrator) if I never set a
administrator password and it still ask for one. What I've
done (I think) is overloaded my hard drive and the system
will not let me get to to lonon screen. My system lockes
up. I also notice that there is no room left on my hard
drive. Is if I can just get loged on I can delete some of
the music I've loaded onto my hard drive. I running
windows xp home. please contact me at wayearl42
(removethis)@yahoo.com.

Hi

As you are running XP Home, try leaving the password blank, although you may
not be able to do much in the Recovery Console. Have you tried accessing
Windows via Safe Mode? After a reboot keep tapping F8.

Hi Will,
Yes I'm running XP Home. I was just trying to get logged
on so that I can delete some of the music I had just
recently loaded. I should have been checking my disk
space. I have not tried Safe Mode. Did not think of that.
I'll give it a try. Thanks for the quick response. I'm at
work and had left this workstation for a while. Any other
advice you have is greatly appreciated. I really do not
want to do a reinstall. Tks
Waymon,
