WIN XP - SYSTEM COULD NOT LOG YOU ON.

by JAL Nov 28, 2004 1:40AM PST

During WIN XP startup I receive: "The system could
not log you on. Make sure your User name and domain
are correct, then type your password again. Letters
in passwords must be typed using the correct case."

This happens before going to the normal logon screen.

Where do I check to identify and correct the
problem that is causing this error message ???

Thanks for your assistance in this matter.

Check out the The Administrator Logon Dialog Box May Be Hidden section for the workarounds.

Good Luck,

Thanks for sending this link. Went through the link
but couldn't identify the means to identify the User
name and domain consequently I'm still getting this
error message prior to getting to the logon screen.

I'm still looking for the location within Windows of
my primary User name and domain so I can check to make
sure it's correct.

1. Use first the method that it's presented at the bottom of the following MSKB article:

Q315231 -"How to turn on automatic logon in Windows XP"

You can also look in the registry. Before editing the registry, create a Restore Point.

2. Alternatively, use TweakUI that can be downloaded from the following page.

Launch TweakUI and expand Logon, Autologon. Fill the boxes in the right pane.

Good Luck,
