One of the computers on my network has two user accounts

on one account the password has changed

on the other user account which did not have a password the computer has added a password

I have tried going in through safemode

but i cant get past the passwords at the welcome screen

Im thinking it has been hacked
but not sure cant get in to check anything

any suggestions would be apreciated

I came across this program the other day but havent heard of anyone that has actually used it so I dont know how complicated it is to use or how effective itis.
Unfortunately it is rather expensive

thanks Sandra but i think ill just reinstall windows

at $195 for this program its cheaper to install windows and lose some unimportant information

Thank you for the info though

Rather than reinstall windows Dave, could you not just delete the user accounts and create new ones.

I had other 2 user accounts on my pc and deleted them without having to re-install windows.

He cant get into either safe mode or normal windows to do that Lona

I have just found this program which looks quite good and a lot cheaper than the other one I mentioned.
It seems that you can make a bootable floppy or cd and just change it from in a DOS application
