Windows Passwords...
 
I ran a window washer program on my computer and is erased all my cookies
including usernames and passwords. Now when I start my computer, it prompts
me for my Windows username as password...I used to just hit cancel and it
brought me to Windows. I don't know my username or password. Is there a way
for me to bypass this...maybe start in Safe Mode? I really appreciate any and
all help as I have been down all day today.
Thanks!

If you don't get an answer here, you may want to ask in a newsgroup that's
dedicated to windows, not excel.

Try this.........

Log in to default Administrator account [that is not meant for regular use]
by pressing Ctrl Alt Delete twice when in Log-in screen and in the user
name column, enter Administrator , press Enter. Reset the password of your
account by going to Control Panel User Accounts
