Hi everyone...I have just installed a new harddrive in my laptop. Completely formatted. Windows xp home ed. CMOS battery out overnight.

However, when I reach the logon screen it is asking for a password next to my account. It never had one and I have tried everything to get round it.

Even tried the shift f10 during setup...doesnt work. Wont give ne access to the account.

This is starting to annoy me.
