I was screwing around with the user login stuff using 'netplwiz' in Windows 7 (in an attempt to get password access removed altogether) and now I can't get in at all.
I created a 2nd user with the name Test and then just left the password bit blank and hit next/continue/whatever, assuming that would create a user that didn't need a password. After restarting I it gives me only that user as an option to login with "Test," and not my pre existing Cranky Carrot, and whether I leave it blank or enter anything, it won't accept it and locks me out altogether.
It looks like I'll have to reinstall Windows, but that will eat up a bunch of time and I'll lose my desktop notes (of which there's many) and also my Chrome Bookmarks, I believe.
Is there some 'default password' or something that Windows 7 would have? How is it that by entering nothing it's now asking for a password that never existed?
