XP password

[Guest]

After removing virus infected files by delete and quarantine I rebooted. When the computer came back on there was a WindowsXP Login window with my name as user and asked for a password. I tried every password I knew to use and can't get into XP. Is there a master password or can anybody help. Thanks.

Have you tried entering without a password?
