Reboot after install of SP2. Account now requires password...

[Bobby C.]

I just installed XP SP2 on two machines in my office. Both are XP Pro but
one is running a Japanese version (required for testing product we are
developing for overseas). After the install on the Japanese machine, the
laptop rebooted and brought me to the user selection screen but now it's
asking for a password. This account never had a password. Prior to this,
the machine was prepared and shipped from Tokyo. Has anybody run into this
and more importantly are there any suggestions? TIA

Sorry. Someone had reset the passwords on the other machines and the
Japanese was done at the same time without my knowledge. Sorry for the
message...

Try a blank password.
