Anyone Rememberr XP?

11 years ago

My wife is still using a dell desktop running XP Media.

We usually shut it down at night and sometimes when booting in the morning it enters the "passward unlock" state. We have never set a boot password on this computer.

Each time I have to shut it down with the power button and then turn it back on Each time it has then booted normally... seems the forced power-down is the password.

Any ideas? I do have access as the administrator (unless that requires another unkown/not-set password). and suppose there is a way to change the "lock password" to none.
