XP Embedded security recovery
I have a windows xp embeddded system which I added a user to. Originally the system automatically booted up and logged in (presumably as the Administrator).
Anyway I niaively deleted the user account thinking it would resort back to the original auto boot.
WRONG!
When I boot the machine now, it has the deleted Username and does not allow any entry on the keyboard and is effectively locked.
My backup image is also corrupted!
How do I recover from this to allow to system to autoboot as it did previously?
Kind Regards
David
