    W7-32 boots up with an OLD user account


    This is very odd. This little netbook has booted up to:

    Owner (Account name) and a password field for the last year or so.

    Now, it is booting to

    Waco John (user name) and a password field but I have no idea what the p/w wouild be for that account name.

    I use WacoJohn for a lot of user names. I COULD have even used Waco John (with a space) for Windows account name at one time ... but that would have been a few FACTORY RESTORES back. This is a mystery to me, and if I can't provide a p/w for Waco John, I am somewhat screwed. I would LIKE to see ADMINISTRATOR as a log in option .. because I think its p/w is the same as it was for OWNER.

    Any help is appreciated in advance.

    Found a bit of a solution. i have a keyboard key that is doing 'double duty'. I counted the *'s and there was one too many for the p/w for OWNER even though the account name showed Waco John ... but ... I got in once I typed the p/w slowly. Still wondering about the account name mystery.
