Hi folks,

I had a virus on my PC that wouldn't shift, so I formatted and did a CLEAN install of XP Pro. The installation went fine until it asked for me to create users. I skipped it because I didn't WANT to have to login each time Istarted it up, but now it takes me to an Administrator login screen when I haven't set one up, so I don't know the password! I've tried leaving it blank and typing in obvious PASSWORDS it might've picked, but all it keeps saying is: "the specific domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"

What can I do to resolve this?

Thanks.Have you tried the reinstall again and this time set up at least one account?No, I'm trying to avoid reinstalling again if I can.If you create one account, it usually doesn't ask you to log in. If it does, there are way to make it not do this and automatically log into that account and skip the Windows log-in screen.

If you're unable to log in to your admin account, it might be best for you to reinstall. If it does give you trouble with the log in screen for the user account coming up everytime, come on back and I'll walk you THOUGH how to make it not do that.Haha, well I decided to reinstall and now it's shutting down by itself when I reach the "39 mins remaining" mark. Only had it on a couple of hours but MAYBE it's overheating, so I'll try again later and get back to you. Thanks for the help.
