WinXP SP2 problem

[holyghost]

I used windows update to update my XP to SP2. Afer installing & restarted, WinXP come to the welcome screen & ask me to key in password. But I never created any password before. Not even to my own profile. Now I can't get access to my windows. I tried the password reset tool which found from the internet but still no use. Anyone can help? And why this happen?

What if you leave it blank does it still not accept it?

Yup. It doesn't. Even I go into safe mode & try login in as administrator also failed. Funny thing is that I didn't create any password at all during or after my XP installation. Only after I updated to SP2 does this happens.

in the login box type

USER: Administrator
PW: Whatever Password you set in your original XP installation.

Sorry if its no help.

If all else fails you might want to try a parallel install at least that will allow you to get access to the existing partitions.

Good luck
