Sounds like you need to logon with the old drive in the system with the local administrator account and change the user password.

Try a Ctrl alt delete twice and see if you get a login. If it does not work then you may need a utility like ERD to change the password.

My response related to retrieving files while booting from another hard disk or with hard disk connected to another PC.

Thought you would figure that out.

Send me a private message with a good, believable explanation of why you need to reset password and I'll see if I can help. We get many suspicious requests for password resets here and I will only reply to those that seem legitimate.
