A client has a system that had been getting warnings something like "you may
be the victim of software counterfeiting" with prompts to Get Genuine. I was
cleaning it up from a virus infection and discussed this with him. It's a
rather long and ugly story. The bottom line, he can't find his original CD.
His case doesn't have a Windows product key on it either. I was looking for a
second hand copy of XP Home, but before we got this resolved the system
locked us out. His account now has a password. It didn't before. I'm assuming
it's Genuine Windows that caused the lockout since trying to causes a Logon
Message dialog, "Unable to log you on because of an account restriction."
Is there way to get back in to change the product key to a valid one?
