profile logs out before logging in

ExodusIII · #1 (**permalink**) 30-08-2006, 05:44 AM

okay.. my first problem is that whenever i log on... it begins to log on...then automatically logs off...

so i installed another copy of XP so i could burn my files out before formatting...but the problem is i can't access the files on my desktop because the profile is password protected... so it won't let me open that profile from my second OS installation... is there any way i can disable the password on that account so that i can regain access to the desktop files? i need to burn out the files on my desktop but can't gain access to them..

HELP...please

You just need to change the permissions as noted in the Microsoft bulletin.

Thanks for the thanks and let us know how it goes.
