Window won't start up
Saturday, November 4, 2006 by Thug life25 | Discussion: Windows XP
Ok whenever I start my computer it starts up stays on the boot skin and then moves and it says something about a primary password. So I never get to log in. So I have to reboot my computer so its like everything just started over and still its the same thing. I think it's because of the thing that changes your boot skin I had just installed it can somebody please help me?

There is a proggy available on the net which can access and delete/alter the system password/s.....I'll see if I can dig up the link...

Jafo, I rtfm, but it seems as if this is just a proggie to 'raw' write any file to a floppy disk. Couldn't find any info on how to use it to alter system passwords.

Oops...that was/is only part of it...
The file is called bd040116.zip ....it uses rawrite to create a 'nix bootdisk to access admin passwords.
It works....I've used it on 3 different occasions....when people's passes were corrupted...

Log in using your admin password if needed.
Open Bootskin and set teh bootskin to the default.
You should be fine then
