    Default Guys, Help my winXP got virus!


    Guy, Please help me solve this problem of mine, I bought original WindowsXp after using for a year now, I boot up with windows Xp then it suddenly ask for a password, which before it didn't ask for. I think this is the work of a virus. Anybody encountered this? how to solve this one? I've seen some solution like ophcrack but the problem with my computer is, this wont boot up though USB. Hope there is another solution aside from formating. thanks in advance.

    1. Attempt to Login to Windows XP as the Administrator.
    Since many people never set their administrator password, you may still be able to get in to that account and reset your password.

    By default, this will not be shown. To access this user do the following.

    At the login screen where all the users are shown, press Ctrl-Alt-Del TWICE.

    It will bring up the old style login like windows 98. At user type "Administrator", leave password field empty and press enter to try and log in.
    If successful you have 3 choices to do this.



    1: Right click on my computer and select "Manage". On the left side select "local users and groups" and then "Users". Your login name will appear in the right hand side. Right click on it and select "Set Password". Fill in the fields or leave them empty. Apply it and your done.

    2: Go to "control panel" and Select "User Accounts". In the window select "change an account" and then select which user. From there you select "Remove password" And, if it works, you're done. I have encountered it before that it asks for the password before it will remove it.

    3: Go to "Start", "Run". Type in "cmd" to bring up the command window. In the window type:
    "net user *USERNAME* 1234"
    "net user" Always in the beginning. After the word "user" is a space and the user name. (NB) This does not work with user names which is more than 1 word. Example 'user 1' would not work where 'User1' would work. After the user name has been typed in there is another space and then a new password where I typed 1234.

    So... "net user *USERNAME* 1234"

    thanks bros. i hope this will work, actually i'm planning to format it today since i don't have anything to do. What i don't like with formating because all of my passwords, links, and other important documents will be lost....

    Ug di pa mogana ang mga gipangsuggest nga paagi unya kinahanglan na jud ka magreformat, back up your files by using a Linux Puppy LiveCD. Di man ni siya moila ug password, masulod man gihapon imong mga Windows folders.

    Download LuPu (Linux Puppy) 5.25 from here:
