Hi all and thanks for reading my thread. This is not the usual thread where you "forgot" your password or what not. I was trying to remove the login screen on windows by deleting a few accounts of mine, just to discover that the login screen is still there, only difference is now the username is "administrator" of which I have no clue what the password is.. SO. I tried a bunch of things such as booting from a password cracking image file, with no success (says disk is "dirty") and now I'm thinking that if I booted with a different hard drive and put my original drive in an enclosure I should be able to get into it and make some changes to fix this problem, by maybe erasing or resetting the password.. right? Well I sure hope so... I'm online now.. its 950 MST and I really hope some of you guys can help me right now.. can you please...? I have a Laptop HP Pavilion zd8000 if that can help.. thanks!!

According to the rules I do not think we are allowed to help with password problems it may not be the usual problem but you do need help to get into the computer which is just the same as a normal password problem.

Slave the hard drive with the installation into another computer. Copy your files, and then re-install onto the passworded hard drive. Only way around it thats allowed on these forums.

Thats pretty much what I had to do... kinda sucks when people have legitimate problems, they need to pay the consequences of not so legit people.. anyhow.. thanks anyways guys!
