Win 7....login screen pops up when there was no login screen before..

Win 7.....User did not have a password to log into windows.....then one day a password requirement showed up...
Some kind of virus or something....???

I have tried booting up with several CD's of password cracking tools......with BIOS set to CD boot first......hitting F12 and choosing CD to boot from......it will not boot from the CD....
Goes straight into loading Windows 7 then the login appears on the screen....
It's almost as if the password requirement appears before Windows is fully loaded....

Has anyone run into this.......Is there any chance of fixing it...???

Thank you in advance....

If it really is the login screen, can you just hit enter with no username or password and login? If so this was an issue I think in XP with .Net.

Nope.....just hitting enter does not work.....I remember what you are saying about XP and .NET.......
I think this login screen comes up before Windows in completely loaded....which should not be....
The boot CD's i'm using have been used many times before...I know the boot CD's are good.....
But I have not tried Hirens yet....

I assume i does have a user and password but you have set it up to login automaticaly

Nope....user never had a password set up......She was using the computer with no pw required to log into the PC....
Then one day she started it up and the logon screen came up wanting a pw.....
