I upgraded my ofice XP with service pack 3. when I
restarted the computer, I got an error message about
missing or corrupt file c:\windows\system32\config\system

I foung a KB artical and completed step one. This got
windows to boot up to an administator prompt. It asks
for the administrator password, which I don't have. Is
there any way to find out the password? Is there a
default password? Any other suggestions to get into my
computer?

Thanks,

Mark
