Windows 7 64 bit stopped accepting my password. I know I'm putting in the right one and its not do to caps lock BS or anything like that.
I tried two bootable CD's to try and recover/reset my password one recommended on Microsoft's site and another I got via a torrent which said that it couldn't read windows/system32/config saying it was possibley corrupt which I now beileve is true.
Prior to all this I tried doing a system restore but no matter what date I chose it always failed. I just did a start up fix and again tried my password which led me to another fail.
So I'm stuck here. I'm thinking about using my windows 7 CD to try and copy the backreg over the current reg but I'm not sure if that will work or if that is even possible.
Any suggestions would be great.
