No user name

[Bertie]

When I boot my laptop (running XP Home)I reach the front
screen which tells me to click on a user to start, there
are now no users listed (there only used to be one). Id
I do ctrl alt del twice it asks me for a user name and
password but then says login name, domain or password are
incorrect and won't let me in. I have never used a
password.

Can anybody help?

No I am waiting too for an answer ( (posted in another group help &
support)
Same problemover here: after booting the PC, I only get the bleu screen
with windows XP logo
and nothing else. It stays forever like that, unspite you hear disk access
etc..
The same in every way, Safe Mode, Normal mode, Diagnostic start up,
It always get me to the same screen, but no accounts.

I manage to start with the CD the Recovery console, and I can get to the
files. The chkdsk /P /R does not give any error. The fixboot neither.

I even started the Knoppix CD (great!) and can access the harddisk (read)
and have networkaccess. Were do I have to look what is going wrong?
The final solution would be coping all relevant data to another PC and start
from scratch... But I find it difficult to believe this is the only way...
