In XP...Start,run, type in MSCONFIG...hit ok...look for the startup tab and uncheck anything you don't want at startup - Click apply then ok.

What is the pre-boot sequence?
Preboot Sequence During startup, a Windows Server 2003-based computer initializes the boot portion of the hard disk and the preboot sequence begins. This sequence consists of four steps: • The computer runs power-on self test (POST) process to determine the amount of physical memory; and • The hardware components are present. • If the computer has a Plug and Play (BIOS), enumeration and configuration of hardware devices occurs. • The computer BIOS locates the boot device and loads and runs the master boot record (MBR). Note: Windows Server 2003 modifies the boot sector during installation so that Ntldr loads during system startup. Therefore you should disable the Boot Sector Virus Protection in your BIOS Setup.

You might have forgot your password when you changed it last time. Or During the last shutdown the password must not have saved properly and either the password containing file might be damages or you must try your last password. If not then reset the system.

To access the utilities on the hidden partition, press a key during startup. The key to press is displayed on the screen early in the boot before OS is loaded. If you don't see message, search the web site of the computer manufacturer to find a key combination
