I am unable to access an account set up in xp.
Even when the correct password is entered, the machine initalises and goes to the desktop, only for the login/password screen to be displayed asking for the username and password.
This is continuously repeated, access to the machine only occurs for intervals between the login display being repeated.
The correct password is accepted, but the machine get caught in a never ending loop asking for password and login name.
I can set up a new account with no problems, but the old account is corrupt, changing the password under admistrator does not work.
I further get a message two users on the machine when I force a shut down.
It appears there is a repeat until in the setup of the security coding.
Has anyone had this problem or know where xp stores the coding for the security file.
ANY IDEAS
THANKS
JAMES
