I just installed Windows XP on my computer but when I finished setup and
tried to log on, it asked for my password. Since I did not give a password
during setup, I tried to log on without one but it didn't work. Then I tried
to log onto the Guest account, but that needs a password too. I restarted the
computer in safe mode, but the administrator account also needs a password.
How do I fix this problem???

*tries to resist*

No!!!

*groans*

I thought your response was rather acute actually.

You know, two thirds of "pun" is P.U.?

I've tried the sites from the link, but my computer cannot boot from a floppy
and I am having trouble writing the files to a CD. Any other suggestions
would be helpful.
Thanks

You will need to either boot to a floppy or boot from CD. The CD option is
really the best.
