Guys, my daughter has a lap top with windows XP on it. It's wireless and usually works at home but this week it would not get onto the internet. I tried to fix it with all the built in repair stuff on the computer but couldn't. Now when I boot up the computer I get a screen with username: owner and password. I don't ever recall putting in a password for owner and neither does my daughter. Any ideas or suggestions on how to bypass this screen and get into the computer to get work done?
Thanks,

Re: Need to bypass a password
You may just want to try logging in as Administrator with no password. Windows XP does ask you to create a user account that it uses as the default account. Its possible one of her friends added a password as a joke. Wouldn't be the first time I've heard of that happening.
