need help with XP windows logon

[Guest]

i have a computer with a windows logon... this is NOT a user logon... its a
direct windows logon... i can boot thru bios... i get the windows welcome
screen (xp home) however as it passes this point it goes to a windows logon...

the computer crashed and lost the password... it will NOT let me logon... i
am locked out of my computer...

is there a way to by pass this right after bios...

i dont have the original windows key either...

can i use my recovery consol to repair this or by pass it... i need to get
into this drive without reformatting it... it contains 30 gigs of business
information...

any help would be greatly appreciated... again this is not a user logon...
its a windows logon...

No idea what you mean by this;

"this is not a user logon... its a windows logon..."

but give this a go.

when the windows boots... it files thru its post... it goes thru the windows
xp home loads that... but instead of the users logon.. which i know how to
change... it logs to a windows logon... i cannot get to my desk top... i
cannot get to profiles at all.. i need to be able to get into fix this
without being able to actually get to the start menu where all the neat
little tools are... it will NOT let me log in... it says i have the wrong
password... and when i cloned the drive it tells me that all the files are
protected and that access to these is denied... i seriously need to by pass
this from just after the post... can i do this from the CD or Bios...

Still unclear what you've got going (cloning?) but give the linux boot disk
a go.
