RESOLVED (=

from Stardock Forums

i've quite an intense little problem. i made a logonstudio logon screen. i acciendly set the logon box (text input/user icon box) size to 0%, don't know what i was thinking

so now i cannot log in, cause well, there is no user name to select or input to type my pw, in to...

obviously safe mode doesn't do anything cause i still can't see any login options. how can this be resolved with out a boot disk repair job on my os?

which is windows xp SP2 btw. can i get to a dos promt (not through boot disk repair) that will except a delete command to remove logonstudio?

At the login screen press ctrl + alt + delete twice and a basic login  screen should appear - there add your login name and password to login.

This is not the first time this has happend to someone.

I want to say that when the login screen comes up you can get the Windows default one by hitting the esc key several times.  I might be wrong.

Have you tried a search of the forum posts to see if you can find a fix?

This happened to me messing around on my wife computer. Talk about Panicking.

Login screen pop up to enter password. Fixed. Problem solved\o/

If all else fails use safe mode by pressing f8 during a restart and then at the login screen push ctrl+alt+del twice and a login screen will appear no matter what you have done to the system. Sometimes this is needed for you can damage the ui file used by xp. Thus it reverts back to the original file location when you use this method. You still need to fix what is the cause of your login data being wrong and such. Editing some parts of the login ui file wrongly can result in some rather interesting results to how you get logged in or not... even to where you only are allowed a certain time frame to login - as such you could end up with a login from a safe mode with only a few seconds to hit the desired ctrl+alt+del buttons twice. This has ahppened to me and is not very funny.

But there are other methods as a last resort of doing things further. If you need help - do contact me for this!

Glad you got things going and always here to try and help!
