My PC asks for a non-existent password

Hello,

I had some problems and had to reinstall my Windows. The reinstallation went well, but when starting Windows it asks me for a password, even though I never set one!

I tried to boot in safe mode, but it still asks for passwords that don't exist!

I never set any passwords on my laptop, neither session password, nor administrator, nor BIOS

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

Well, in safe mode, enter the Administrator session, then:

Start>Control Panel>User Accounts>yourusername>remove the password, or change the password.

There you go.

I have already tried safe mode, but it asks me for an administrator password, which I have never set.

thank you jabl
I suppose these are the software for "cracking" passwords
but since I don't even have access to the Windows startup, how can I run these programs?

thank you for your help

this is the second time this has happened to me. I don't remember how the problem was solved the first time

I really don't understand why every time I reinstall Windows, it blocks my access with a password that I never set!

Does anyone understand anything?

Is there a way to un-blog using the Windows XP installation CD?
