well, i am administrator of my own pc , and i was tweaking xp, then when i restarted xp,windows kinda logged in to a new account (admin) and couldn't let me log on to my old one, saying something about the password not matching, which it accepted the same password for admin. i think i've used this tweak:
You can edit the registry to do this, however your password will not be hidden anymore, but that's up to you:
Here is how:
Open notepad, and copy n' paste the following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"DefaultUserName"="USERNAME"
"DefaultPassword"="PASSWORD"
"DefaultDomainName"="COMPUTER NAME"
Replace USERNAME, PASSWORD AND COMPUTER NAME with the values you want, then
save the file as a .reg file
Dblclick on it, thats it.
If you change your mind about the autologon here is how to undo it:
Open notepad, and copy n' paste the following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"=-
"DefaultUserName"=-
"DefaultPassword"=-
"DefaultDomainName"=-
Save the file as a .reg file
Dblclick on it, thats it.
My old settings folder is there , but it doesn't log-in to it automaticlly. Also when i try creating an account of the old name, it says this name already exists...plezzzz help!
