Hi everyone,
My parents called me recently and they said they cannot log in to their computer. I was the one who installed XP pro on their computer(i'd say about a year ago?). It only has a default user and has never been password protected (always enter blank at the login screen). Apparently the computer restarted on its own and went into chkdsk, (the one with the light blue background with the white font and the windows logo somewhere in the corner). I don't know the details about the results for that but after that my parents couldn't log in anymore. It says to check the domain and user name, as well as the password again (it has no domain and the user name is just User1). I've looked online for a solution, and only options I found were some softwares that change the password or have ones that will recover the password upon submission of some data their software obtains with a floppy (loginrecovery.com). They seem sketch to me, does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanks.
