password expired in XP, what do I do?
RayB:
Have you tried just hitting "enter" without putting in a password?
ChadTower:
Have you tried "12345"?
That's the combination on my luggage.
KenToad:
Use the password killer.

Yes, you can automatically log a user in with XP provided you aren't on a domain
go to your cmd prompt and type in "control userpasswords2" without the quotes of course and it will bring up a window
Uncheck the box at the top and hit ok and it will have you choose a default user to log in with.

Heh . . . that's exactly the box that I'm used to using in 2000. I didn't know it was still accessible in XP. Thanks. I love learning about that sort of thing.
