After checking out this site I decided to install XP anyway and have a look for myself, but after installing the opening page shows my Username and asks for my password. I didn't see anywhere in the install to enter a password so what's happened here. Simply can't log in at all!

Hi,
Download a program for decrypt a specific file which contain user name and password. Else, you can re-install on your current version.

The file is 'NTuser.dat' in the folder of your user. If this file not contain password, they have a file in windows\system32 who which contain it.

I do not remember any password prompts. Upon first boot my screen went blank. I hit a few keys and when I restarted I did the F8 trick and enabled VGA support. Somewhere in the process I may have inadvertantly entered a fews keys while the screeen was blank.
