Weird Logon Problem...Not sure if it's LogonStudio's Problem???

could it be the admin account was deleted? look in user accounts to look and see...It could be disabled too?



Logon Studio wouldnt be the cause of this tho...

no, im using the admin account

so.. how did you log in to the administrator account if it's not listed in the logon menu?

classic logon, type in username and password

ok in the "about" section in logon studio try the "restore default XP logon" button and appy .see if that works..

you might uninstall and reinstall. could be an install bug if that dont work..

includes the default logon screen (the one that came with win xp).

like i said, the admin acct doesnt show in teh the default logon either

do you know of a setting in control panel or admin tools?

you might try uninstalling logonstudio and see if that makes a difference... I cant see any setting within XP or studio that hides an account...I remember seeing it some where in another XP Tweaking application once tho..

ima try uninstall logonstudio now....brb...

default admin account never shows for me except when I go into safe mode.

If I remember what Yrag told me a loooonnnng time ago - it's part of the netframework - showed up when I reinstalled netframework 1 but disappeared with nfw 2

Normally the Administrator account is hidden from view. According to Microsoft documentation, it appears on the Welcome screen only in the following situations:
--No other administrative user accounts exist
--You start your computer in Safe Mode
--The Adminstrator account is logged on and you're using Fast User Switching
--In Windows XP Professional, if the Welcome screen is enabled, you can log-on to the "hidden" Administrator account by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete twice.

Windows XP Home Edition users can't log on using the Administrator account except in Safe Mode under all circumstances.

In Windows XP Professional, you can get the "hidden" Admin account to appear all the time on the Welcome screen by doing the following:

1. Open up a command prompt.
2. Open Local Users and Groups by typing: lusrmgr.msc.
3. Double-click the Administrators group and remove all accounts exept the one titled "Administrator."
4. Open the Users or Power Users Group and then click Add to add each of the accounts you removed.

One other possibility comes to mind: The default administrator account may have been renamed to something other than "Administrator." This may be the case if under the Administrators Group there is a single account not named "Administrator" but still having full Administrator rights. Some single-users do this if they are the only user of the computer, and have only that one account on the computer, and that account has full administrative rights. In theory, this would make it harder for someone up to no good to find the Administrator account.

Hope this helps some.

ok...thanks guys. i think i'll just use the double ctrl alt del when i start up. since im always on standby, the admin only disappears when i restart. it's not too much of a problem since i can still login after standby and such modes.
