reinstalling vista issue! :(

[storywewrote]

So, my computer caught a nasty virus and deleted most of my stuff. Anyway, I found my Vista reinsallation cd and popped that in. But I gets to a point where it asks for a username and password but I don't have one set for my computer. I mit has me clicked on "other user" and that's where it asks me to log in. I think I have a user name because when I boot up my computeer, I click on the square that has the picture and the name underneath. So I figured that's my username..but I don't have a password set up.

I'm also going from windows 7 to vista, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I can't find my windows 7 cd..just the upgrade cd. Is there anyway to set up a user name and password for "other user"?

I tried dell support system but I've had enough of them. Way too frustrating to deal with them again.

If you are intending to Reinstall Vista then you should not need any Username or Password you can Do it at boot
