Hi,

Cannot Log On to Recovery Console After Running Sysprep [Q308402]
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308402

Sounds like you are a victim of this installation tool. You can get in by
using the floppy disk set to start the Recovery Console.

Home edition:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=33290

Professional edition:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=33291

You will need 6 floppies and a machine to create them on. Then boot the
affected system with them.
