Can't recall username/password which apparently was set at time of original
purchase about 5 yrs. ago (sony VAIO w' pre-installed XP). Hasn't been
turned off since I can't remember; only Re-started. So no need for UN/PW. But
in running Norton Antivirus 2010 scan, somehow got turned off. Now at Alt,
Ctl, Del, screen is looking for UN/PW. Anyone know how to get around???
