I really don't want to repration the hard drive because there is old picture that can't be replaced. and people don't put the important stuff in the sharded documants.

please if there is anyway let me know

see if you can access it in safe mode and as administrator or something...

i am the admin, how would you access it in safe mode, i believe it requires a password as well

Gilletter · Dec 18, 2008, 04:08 AM

try using everything you can. it doesn't lock you out

... If not google it, or call MS, I'm sure they have a backdoor fix all password or some sort of "hop on one leg, rub your stomach, pinch your left nipple all while screaming out BILL! BILL! BILL!" tricks.

no problem, let me know how things work out

Castiel · Dec 18, 2008, 04:34 AM

ctrl+alt+del, twice at the welcome screen and see what happens.

lilkiduno · Dec 18, 2008, 04:36 AM

well from what i read, i can use the XP disk and use the repair fuction, and hit shift+F10 when it says Installing Devices. so i will give that a try tomorrow, but i will post if it works or not

Gilletter · Dec 19, 2008, 03:53 AM

so did it work?

FordGT90Concept · Dec 19, 2008, 03:59 AM

Is this XP Home or XP Pro? On XP Home, there is a hidden super admin account. As long as no one set a password, you can get to it by using the following credentials:
User: Administrator
Password: <blank>

This is the account used in safe-mode and only safe-mode. You can change the passwords once you're in via Control Panel -> Users
