password expired in XP, what do I do?

<< < (3/4) > >>

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.

--- Quote from: shmokes on March 05, 2007, 01:08:25 pm ---Can XP be set to log in automatically if you have a password set up?  I know you could do it in 2000, but for some reason I'm thinking that in XP if a username has a password set up on it, the password has to be entered every time you log in.

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.
