The cd from eunet.no allowed me to see that it was not a password problems as all the passwords were null.
The problem is that XP always logs in to my account (my name). After working the recipe, it was trying to log into the administrator account. I was able to type in my name and gain access. Then I used you recipe with the correct account and away we went.
I followed the directions exactly, now my computer demands a login and password before it will boot. Nothing that I give it will work including "Administrator" and a null password or my old account name and any password I have ever used or a null password.
Fortunantly I ghosted the main drive onto a second drive a few months ago, so I can use that for now, but I have lost alot of data. What can I do to restore my main drive to normal use? Can I copy some files from the old backup to the C drive? If so, which files?
