OK....so we bought a house to flip...the previous owner left a bunch of stuff behind. Included was a p4 2.2 with win 2kpro. A rig he had obviously started to upgrade before he skipped the state several years ago, but never quite finished. Unfortunatly, while he left a PILE of 5-10 year old software behind, he did not leave the disk for win2k (which I never owned).
So...I'm building up the rig for my kids to use. No probs loggin on, went through hours up MS updates, then start to personalize the system. Changed it's network ID (did not record the old network ID, derrrrrr).
For the first time in 30+ boots it goes to the logon screen (always just booted with no logon screen till now). Of course, now it will not log on with the new ID I assigned it. Tried to log on as administrator, no password, no go.
Can I get past this, or do I need to go buy a fresh copy of xp?
