DefBringer 0 Posted July 11, 2001 I have no clue how this happened but as soon as I created an additional login to use my administrator login has completely disappeared. Has this happened to anybody else? What the heck is going on?? How do I get it back? Share this post Link to post
maxg 0 Posted July 11, 2001 Yes, that is a "Feature" of XP. The users you create during setup are ALL administrators with no passwords! (I wonder who the 'genius' is that came up with that one?) FIX THAT QUICK! Just leave yourself as an admin and Password protect the user accounts. If you really want to log in as Administrator = do CTRL-ALT-DEL Twice at the welcome screen to show the old 2K style login box. Share this post Link to post
DefBringer 0 Posted July 11, 2001 Thanks for the response.....my next question is: How do I autologon? I am never offered the "remember password" checkbox. Share this post Link to post
ThC 129 0 Posted July 11, 2001 the reason this feature was put into XP was because MS doesnt like people logging on under the administrator account so they made it so the owner account (the 1st account created) is the administrator and owner, and if you have the welcome screen on and 1 account with no PW on it it will auto log you on.
