Upon bootup I get an error message that my system file is corrupted. I am instructed to use the XP repair tool to fix it. However, upon selecting the drive, C: in my case, the computer asks me for my administrator password.
I know my password and I am sure I am typing it in correctly but my computer will not recognize it. Now I can’t repair my computer without bypassing the password . . . HOW DO I DO THAT?
I should note here that it will not let me reinstall windows xp. An error message with several lines of what appears to be binary text, tells me that the installation has been halted because proceeding will damage my hard drive. Therefore I am left with only the repair option that requires my password that it does not recognize. Can anyone out there please help?!?
Thanks,
Pete Owens
