Clean install XP Home Edition

[SWT]

Install finally took, but the sorry thing won't let me log
on. Asking for GUEST ACCOUNT and password. How in the hell
do I get started to even log on and CHANGE the user
accounts? Us there some kind of default setting not known
to us newbies????

PLease advise. This is maddening. Brand new software at
that!!

Logon in safe mode. This will allow the administrator logon.

Thanks but that didn't go far either. I got the Admin
button to come up for user accoutns but I could not get it
to log on either. Says password is invalid. I need the
absolute beginning screen. I configured NOTHING, so am
sill curious as to why it is asking for passwords when I
set none. Is there some other shortcut or default setting?
