Hello. I hope someone can help... I have a broken Linux install dual
booting system and I want to restore my normal windows XP boot
process. I inserted my Win XP disc and booted from the CD. I want to
"R"epair my windows installation on "1. C:\Windows" and the system
asks me for my Administrator password. Here's my problem. I enter my
Administrator password, but, it's not accepted ... it says it's
wrong. I even aborted the process and logged in as the
"Administrator" to verify that I know the password. Note, I never
renamed the Administrator account ... it's still "Administrator"
So I tried the recovery again and still no good ... says I am using
the wrong password. Then, I logged in as the Administrator again and
changed my password to be empty/null. Even this is rejected during
the repair process.
Has anyone ever seen this before? How can I recover without
formatting my hard drive? UGGGGH! Thanks kindly, Rich (please don't
