I did a virus scan and spyware scan on a HP Pavillion loaded with XP-Home.

Then after completion, (virus scan ran all night and found 23 actual viruses and 500 or so more in the restore files which I think are duplicates of the 23 actual) when computer rebooted No original users existed at logon only Hp-owner which had never been used, and I dont know the password!

In doing the spyware scan(s), several reboots were necessary to get rid of all spyware. In each reboot the user accounts were still there except the final after the AV scan!

So where are the user accounts on my C-Drive and can I delete the HP-Owner account and boot up without any accounts.

I could install an new version of XP(which I have done using XP-Pro) but the USB drivers can't be found either online nor in the HP Drivers folder, also some programs from the original install can't be duplicated!!

The original XP Home install is still intact which also has my documents etc., but I cant access them due to the HP-Owner logon!

Any suggestions?
