Windows User ID and Password

I am trying to get remote access to a computer that uses Windows XP Starter Edition which does not have a User ID and Password.
How do I skip the request for User ID and Password when trying to get remote access to this PC?

RE: Windows User ID and Password

When LMI installs, It will look for a user ID and password that already exists in Windows. If one does not exist already, then LMI will prompt for an "Access Code" used to validate you when you try to remote in. If your Starter Edition does not a username and password yet, then it should default to a prompt asking you for an access code instead in which case there is no user name. Then when remoting in, you should have an option to "Show More Options" (or something close to that) where you can either log in with a username (even a domain if available) or the access code you have set.

Hope that answers your Q.

RE: Windows User ID and Password

It sounds like your system decided it already had a login password somewhere and installed with full authentication required.
 
Your two options are full manual uninstall & reinstall, or try manually changing the password (just search the forum.)
