My computer (WINXP Home Edition) is suddenly asking me to log in. I don't know what my login is, I've never used one in the three years that I've had the computer. I can't get in (typing this from a different computer), now what?

yup, another account was created was my guess as well.

 

 

 

Looking back, I think I caused the problem somehow when I ran Window Washer. Must've removed some info having to do with the welcome screen. I've used WW many times and it's never done that before, though. Weird.

It happened to me twice when reinstalling Windows on two separate computers. I had a copy of XP SP2 and did fresh installs on each. There was no log-in prompt/welcome screen at first, but it appeared after I downloaded & installed SP3 and all the available winblows updates.
