      You seem to be convinced it a windows xp startup password. Can you explain what a windows xp startup password is? I never heard of it.

        For the second time, there is no such thing. You've either got a system startup password set in your machines BIOS or you've got something 3rd party installed. There is NOTHING that comes with Windows that will ask for a password like this.

            Please try to explain what you mean with 'windows xp startup password' As far as I know there is no such thing. So if you can be a little bit more specific, maybe we can help. You could try to tell us what the screen looks like, at what time in the boot process it appears, etc.

                you can try to find the program which asks for the password with Autoruns[^]. First look at the services, drivers and Boot Execute. Disable any software you don't trust, and try a rebbot to check if the password dialogbox still appears. If so, try to disable more programs.
