REGCURE changed password

I updated REGCURE and ran it.  I looks like it changed my registry to show a password.  I am the only user and didn't use user accounts.  Now, my computer starts and promps for a password.  NO password can not log in.  Tried SAFE and still get the password screen and can't log in.  My warranty is out.  I understand there are a couple of passwords used as default.  Does anyone know what they are?

My guess is a lot of people will have this problem over the next few days as REGCURE users update and run the software.

    You might want to try restoring the backup Regcure made (hopefully you can do this from Safe Mode).

    Hello uOOrmm4,

    When prompted for a password, try the following:  type Admin for username and password.  I Googled default passwords and found this site:  http://www.phenoelit-us.org/dpl/dpl.html  (please be sure to scroll across the screen to view all information)   Reminder:  Google is our friend when searching for information.:emotion-5:

    Also, I searched the RegCure site for a support listing.  My WOT site advisor warned that website/company has a poor reputation, but I proceeded and found a support page which you must sign into to request assistance.  If none of the above solves the problem, contact RegCure's support for further info.

    I found this information on Cnet.com's forum. http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6121_102-0.html?threadID=230703&start=15&tag=forum-w;forums06   It is dated, however, it may come in handy.

    If you have purchased any Paretologic product and are experiencing difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Support Department by sending an email to helpdesk@paretologic.com Our highly skilled Technical Team will be delighted to assist you with your inquiries and concerns.

    Also, unless you are really attached to this program (if you paid money, you just may be) perhaps you should consider uninstalling RegCure for more reputable, safer and free programs.  CCleaners come to mind.

    In the meantime, a site advisor, is a very good tool to have on your toolbar. It indicates, by various colors, if a website/company is trustworthy or one you should perhaps stay away from.  There are several site advisors:  Web of Trust (WOT), Trend Protect and McAfee (McAfee adds an unnecessary search box).  Site Advisors also rate the entries in Google's and other search providers.
