If it's Windows XP, there is a default account. On my PC it's called 'owner.' I wonder if you could get Narrator to talk you through waking up the computer. sometimes it will talk when JAWS won't. It doesn't say much, but shift-control-spacebar will read the screen.

Hi Dave and Everyone,Thanks for all your feedback. Well at the time of my typo I just turned off machine because I did not know what windows+l did.My problem is that Jaws will not come up after rebooting. Any ideas?

I see you've been given several different instructions.If you're running with a password requiring you to start Windows, then after Windows+L you'll need to enter your password to unlock.If you are working in an environment where the network is managed by a server then you'll usually be prompted to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to initiate the password entry process. However most individual computers don't have this nuance.Simply put, unless you have a password, just hit enter and you'll be back in your desktop.BTW Windows+U is the utility manager and narrator usually comes up, but it is not the panacea for Windows+L.Also Windows +L is not a toggle for Windows+L.

I was forced to reboot. I did not know what this key was so is there a way to unloc the keyboard, like shift+windows+l? Also as a result of my typo, when I reboot JFW10 in Windows XP will no longer automatically come up after rebooting. I went into Jaws window and box is checked.Any ideas?
