The user name is    root\nand password was that, you have provided during installation

you will have to log in again and use your screen name and password. I deleted mine and this solution worked.

What error are you getting? Verify username and password. Is it specific to the PC, can that user log in from anotehr PC or can other users log in from that PC?\n\nNeed much more info. Screen shots are greet too.

-Assumption made, you are using Windows XP\nIf this is a work PC, ask your administrator for help.  If this is a home PC, reboot the computer and start in save mode. (Press F8 during the boot process.)\nWhat you can do from here depends on how the computer was setup.  Sometimes the actual administrator account doesn't have a password.  I can create and account called "admin" during setup but there may actually be an Administrator account that goes unseen by most users.\nYou can log easily if the password has never been set here.  If the actual administrator account is password protected here, then you are back to square one.   There is software you can purchase to help with the situation but I have never tried them and couldn't recommend one.

Go to your system properties>user profiles. Click on the link User Accounts. Choose the user and reset password.

I'm going to take a guess that either you are running XP Home with the defaults, or you are running XP Pro and turned on the logon using menu options.\n\nThe administrator id is set up by default during XP installation, and does not appear as a user on the menu.  However, don't delete it.\n\nIn the event you screw up your id (assuming it's "owner") and it won't log on, you can boot into Safe mode and sign on as administrator (the password is normally blank unless you either changed it or set it during installation) and add a new userid.

When you installed new windows over the old you are getting an administrator privileges, though, just create a password for your current administrator user, and try.\n\nIf not, e-mail me, your problem is Delicious to me.

Check the passward and username\nCheck the firewall or internet security setting if you got some software for that\nCheck the internet connection, it sounds like you dont even have any tcp/ip connection\nLast resort, uninstall the software and then reinstall it

I believe if it asks for a password as administrator the normal default password is "administrator."\n\nTry that and see if it works.\n\nGood Luck

I'll try to help you to my best existent.  When your computer starts up press F8 (its above your number keys) Go into safe mode, you don't need a password to get into a administrators account when your in safe mode. Then change your password however you do it in windows 2000, then write it down and restart. Then type it in then your in!\n\nHoped i helped

Change your password and change your recovery questions.\nI would also set your new password to something at least six characters long and include some numbers at the end.
