I came to the computer while the screen saver was on, after doing something yesterday, and it says that it's password protected and has the username as "owner". No one put a password on the computer. So, how do I remove this? I got an HP Windows XP Home Edition, with DSL internet.

It only pops up when the screen saver comes on for a period of time.

Go to Screen Saver Options (by right clicking the Desktop) and clear the box that says " On Resume, ask for password"
The text may be slightly different as I am using Windows Vista and I can't quite remember how Windows XP works.

"No one put a password on the computer." If that wrer true, you wouldn't be asked for a password.
You did change your screen saver recently? If you didn't some nasty malware did.
Try hitting the Return (Enter) key. Failing that, unplug your PC and reboot, then change your screen saver to NONE.
Don't need them anymore anyway.

flow into the administration Panel and click the purchasers icon flow to the account you opt to alter the password for Reset the password, leaving the password fields sparkling, and it will get rid of the password.

Click Start-Control Panel-User Accounts-Change an account OR pick the account to change. Click remove my password. Type in your current password ("Owner") in the correct case, then click remove password. BALL GAME!!

Boot up in safe mode and go to user account in the control panel and change the pass word.
