I have locked myself out of Windows. How can I find out
what my username and password are? I have my mfg restore
cd, and I can get to the A command prompt. Help! What do
I do there?
 
Please explain how you can create a username and password and then forget
it. You may be trying to hack into someone's computer that doesn't want you
to have access.
 
It happens all the time. While doing tech support I could not keep track of
how many people would forget thier username and password. My favorite was a
president of a company I worked for who could not remember his password,
when I reminded him of it and he tried to enter it in, he kept mis spelling
it. This was the same password he had used for almost a year. And to make
matters worse, it was the first name of his oldest daughter, no I'm not
joking. So when some one says they forgot thier username or password, it's
not so far fetched as you may think.

To the OP, what version of XP are you using, Home or Pro.
You can try logging on as administrator, using nothing as a password.
If you did not set the admin password then that should get you in.
