[QUOTE="George, post: 12747096"] I was trying to clean up logins on my home pc and ended up locking myself out. I will try to explain everything I did below; hopefully enough info for someone to help me... First I had gone to run: "Control Password2" and found that there were some extra accounts there that I had not seen in the Control Panel of XP. I deleted one of those that I hadn't seen before. It had my name spelled wrong. I remembered seeing my name spelled correctly too, and also ADMINISTRATORS with an s at the end. So there seemed to be other accounts available. Then I saw some screen saying to restart my computer in order to delete the account I had deleted earlier. As soon as I restarted, that same annoying misspelled login that I tried to delete popped up again, and it insisted on a password. We have never used passwords for any logins in my house!!! When I tried "Administrator," it said I could not log on because of an "account restriction." I am stuck because we have never used any passwords ever. Any help to get me back in would be appreciated. I would be most thankful, especially on this Thanksgiving day... [/QUOTE]
