Turn the computer on or Restart the computer
Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Boot Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
Ensure that the Safe mode option is selected (the top option)
Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
When you are finished with troubleshooting, close all programs and restart the computer as you normally would.
go to control panel and click on user account then u can change the password or remove the user account and password.

Tried starting in Safe Mode, and still got a Welcome screen with no user names.
Any other suggestions for getting past the Welcome screen?

XP Home, I'm afraid.XP Home or XP Pro? If Pro, try pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del twice while on the logon screen. That should bring up the old style (Windows 2000) screen. Change the userid to Administrator, leave the password blank and login.

You were being steered in the right direction, but what was left out was that in User Accounts; go to Control Panel/User Accounts, then click on User Accounts again, another window opens and under "Pick A Task" you have 3 options, the last being "Change The Way Users Log On or Off", from there you can choose either "The Welcome Screen" (No Screen Names) or "Fast User Switching" (shows the Screen Names.)
Hopes this helps

reformatted with XP SP2
tried Ctrl Alt Del
tried Safe Mode
tried Last Known Config
tried Boot Logging (does that require the XP cd?)
there has to be a way through this!

I did this. I logged in (There is a God!!!). I did a System Restore 3 days back. It Worked!!!
Thank you , thank you, thank you ...
