Techie question, locked out of windows xp
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2009 8:34 am
I removed Mcafee to replace it with avast after a virus, I aM USING XP W/SP2.
I cleaned the computer using Combofix and it was ok,
I then reloaded avast back on my computer and when it restarted it started asking me for a log on password?
I cant log on using a password as I never had one,
I cant log on in safe mode using Administrator and a blank password as though this does load my settings for a second it then logs me off at once?
please help?
I have a spare clean hard drive with xp loaded,
that I can load as master,
can I then slave the first drive (that needs the pasword) and remove the need for this log in code/spyware? please help?
