Can you perform that action (assigning permissions) in Safe Mode, by loggin with your "Administrator" user (not your administrator account)?

 

[Guest]

Im sorry but i dont know how...when i got stuck in the log in screen i
pressed control alt delete which brought me into another log in screen with
my user name in it,and since i dont ever remember having a password i just
clicked ok without a the password and it went through.....so i dunno thats
where im at right now

 

[Jose Gallardo]

If you boot in Safe Mode, do you see an account named "Administrator" in the loggon screen?

 

[Guest]

No theres nothing

If you boot in Safe Mode, do you see an account named "Administrator" in the loggon screen?

 

[Jose Gallardo]

And an account named "Owner". By thew way, if you go to Documents and settings folder, are there the accounts folders? If you press Ctrl+Alt+Del+Del in the welcome screen does appear any account?

 

[Guest]

yes the folders in documents and settings exist**....but in the *my computer*
screen my folder is gone from the' files stored on this computer' section...

 

[Jose Gallardo]

And what about Ctrl+Alt+Del+Del?

 

[Guest]

help me out...control alt delete doesnt work in the login screen anymore and
i have no users to choose from either,so im pretty screwed at the moment and
have no answers on how i can by pass this....i dunno what to do
thanks again though

If you go into the Recovery Console, when prompting for password, can you login?

 

[Guest]

Not at all im complety stuck at the log in screen with no options and no
users to choose from

 

[Jose Gallardo]

And have you try to restart with the XP CD, by pressing the button on the PC? Change the boot device in the BIOS and choose CD, and go into recovery console. There you could execute

chkdsk /r

This will search for damaged sectors in the hard drive.

 

[Guest]

i would but i dont have the xp cd

Wait and see if someone has some further ideas...

Maybe use Setup boot diskettes to access the Recovery Console?
