My friend's PC won't start Windows XP. After the initial
screen (before windows actually opens) a pop up appears
with a red button and grey cross init. It says something
about the ISASS password not being correct. Anyone have
any experience of this? Is it likely to be a virus? She
can't get online to help herself!
 
If you have available a valid backup of the profiles
stored on the system, one from recently back when
the LSA was sync'd in its secrets, then you have a
chance at restoring this (but this can become not at
all a short road to recovery, depending on backup).
No other route known to me can revive system usability,
and the one other (known) recourse is a fresh format install.
