Hello,
A description of the scenario:
XP home laptop stand-alone unit (not in a network). In the welcome screen the system asks for a password (which I never had).
I think the problem started after I connected in a WIFI when I was travelling.
After I connected to this network I used the computer normally and then shutdown the computer.
The next time I tried to use the computer on startup the computer asked me in the welcome screen for the password (which I never had).
Whatever I type (including blank) as a password it answers:
“The local policy of the system does not permit you to logon interactively”
If I press Ctrl+Alt+Delete while at the welcome screen and try to login manually to the administrator account it tells me:
“Unable to log you on because of an account restriction”.
I tried to reset the password, but it seems that the problem is relative to the permissions of the users.
The same behaviour occurs in the safe mode.
Could you help me?
All tips are very welcome.
