I ran the CD all the way through then took it out and rebooted and I click on my name and then I get this message. The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively. My laptop is and HP so I don't know if that means anything. Now what?

Hi,

This is actually not a password issue. The fact that you are getting the message means you are using the correct password or there isn't a password.

I do have a fix for this but it requires that you have a full version of XP on CD. It can't be a recovery disk from the PC company, it has to be a full version Windows XP disk.

Do you have one, or can you get a hold of one?

Thanks,

Dana

I have the Operating System Cd for Microsoft Windows XP it isnt a recovery disk, would that be it? Curious what would make my computer do this all of a sudden when it never asked for a password before?

I'm not sure what causes it, but it almost always is an HP/Compaq laptop. The only other brand I've heard of was a Dell laptop but only a couple of times. If it was some kind of virus or something, you would think it could happen on any PC and not just the ones I mentioned. Very strange.

Send me an email from the Contact Us page of the website. I will reply with the solution.

Thanks,

Dana
