password

I fresh install win XP sp1. When I try to log in it asked me for password.
During the installation I wasn't asked for it. Could somebody help me,
please.

Hardly a hardware matter

If you left the password open while installing, you can leave it
open now as well.
(So: just hit enter)

Don't forget to install SP2 BEFORE you connect to the internet !

Enter didn't help

Which means, that you did indeed enter a password when you
installed Windows

Either reset the password, like
http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/
or snif the password
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ophcrack

If you choose the nordahl way, keep in mind that you will loose
access to XP-encrypted files (only on XP professional).
Ophrack is free, as long as your password does not contain
special characters.

Well if you have just done a fresh install, just do another one and either
take note of the password you enter, or don't enter one (press enter).

Are you sure you did a CLEAN install and not an UPGRADE install? If you
didn't reformat the disk then its probably using your previous account
information. If it was a clean install then it must have been a password you
entered.

If you don't have any joy I suggest starting again with a clean install -
just be sure to wipe the disk to be sure its a clean install.

Tanks to everybody. I did fresh install again. So far so good.
