Please forgive me Guest Tootler, for an apparent attempt to "hi-jak" your thread but seeing that you have enlisted the assistance of "BERNARD" who was previously of help to me in a tech problem I have to ask him if he can be of assistance once again.
Bernard, when you have finished your advice to Tootler could you advise me.
I have already put up a thread seeking aid but was unable to carry out the instructions given.
You see I cannot get past the "Password" to access my old Desk Top Dell PC which runs Windows XP Pro from some 3 -4 yrs ago. Even though I type in the correct password I am asked , everytime, if I have forgotten it and when I click on the ? I get a hint that means nothing. That end bit could be my own fault as my password is a Gaelic word.I hadn't used the old "machine" for many months
Is there any cure that I can administer myself, or do I need to go to the "repairman" ??
I will be very grateful for any help offerede.
