Help is needed. I run Windows XP professional and changed the name of a client pc and rebooted. It now asks for a password however none of the previous passwords work. Can I login in as admin bypassing the login in screen?

You've omitted something. Changing the name of the PC would have no effect on the accounts or logins.

If you removed it from a Domain, then you would experience problems.

"Can I login in as admin bypassing the login in screen?" Logging in as Admin isn't bypassing anything. Did you TRY to login with Admin?
