Re: Can't logon to my computer 2

I thought I posted a reply. Anyways, I did try all of the advice, but no luck.

NewScience,
Thank you for your input, but so far it has not helped. My computer is
simply not reading the cd which has the password editor on it (I have
re-ordered the boot sequence in BIOS so the cd-rom is first, but that has not
helpd.) I am leaning towards Rock's suggestion and simply installing the
drive on another machine. Still looking at the "Reset Administrator SAM
password" search results. hell I needed an new computer anyway. Thanks
again.

Regards,
TDL

I posted a problem I am having with logging on to my computer a couple days
ago and the solution that I have recieved thus far have not worked. The
original post is at this link:

I attempted to use the Shift + F10 loophole in the XP Installation Repair
process. When I entered the command console and typed NUSRMGR.CPL at the
command prompt I recieved a "User Account" message that stated the
following:

"The current user account is not recognized. Restart the computer and
then
open User Accounts."

Since I can not log on to open User Accounts, this message offers no help
to
me. Has this happened to anyone else and how would I go about resolving
this
problem (if possible to resolve on my own,) short of having to re-install
the
OS and losing the existing data on my computer? Would a data recovery
service be needed (or is that a bit overboard for the current problem?)

Thanks in advance for any input and thank you to those who helped with my
previous query.

TDL

To backup the data install the drive in another XP or Windows 2000 computer
as a slave drive, then copy the important data. Always, always have a full
and complete backup.

I posted a response to your original message. Did you try anything I
posted? What were the results? It's hard to help you if you don't stay in
the same thread and give feedback on what happened with the suggestions
provided.
