I was not able to get my laptop to recognize my ip address from my router, when I ran a diagnostic it said it could not authenticate. So I chose the box to authenticate on turning on the computer. I thought I was talking about the internet connection but it meant getting on windows now I cannot get on windows at all. I don't think I ever set a password. Help1 person needs an answerI do too

See if you can boot to Safe Mode by repeatedly hitting F8 as the computer starts up. Log in as user "Administrator". Unless you changed this password, it is probably blank so just hit Return if asked for password. Once logged in, do a "System Restore" operation to a point in time before you made your mistake."How to restore Windows XP to a previous state" < http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084 >HTH, JW
