windows logon problem

smileywy · 01-20-2008, 07:35 AM

hi guys
i recently installed wifi a(netgear) and then started getting a logon screen which didnt require a password and could be bypassed.

i was then advised to use run-control passwords2 to stop this happening, a user name (which im pretty sure was administrator) came up and a insert password box and a confirm password box came up which i inserted my new password.

on restart i come to another login box which came up in gray with administrator and password (same number of figures so im guessing it was the one i used) but could not log in getting the message "the system could not log you on. make sure your user name and domain are correct,then type the password again etc"

i am completely stumped as i cant get into my pc to do anything so would really appreciate some advice.
thanks in advance

Have you tried booting into safe mode yet?

Did you try to check the caps lock and num lock button?
