My xp wont load at all just gets to the blue screen, win xp logo fades in
then it wont load after that, even in safe mode or last good settings.
Apparently i need to run recovery console so i did that from the xp cd and
it asks which to logon to and there is only 1:C:/windows so i select that and
it asks for the administrator password!!! I have had this laptop from a clean
install and never selected a administrator password? but anyway i have tried
even password ive ever used plus the obvious "password" "admin" and just
pressing enter none work.
I read in the knowledge base that preinstalled operating systems can have a
fault where in doesnt read the password properly BUT I DONT HAVE A FLOPPY
DRIVE ON MY LAPTOP to use the 'fixed' setup disks
I am at a complete catch22 and i have REALLY REALLY important data in that
hard drive i cannot lose - what do i do?
Does anyone know why it wont start in the first place?
