Hi, If this is XP, you can try a Recovery Install. This should preserve user accounts, but you may need to reinstall some applications as well as service packs/patches. This is not the same as Recovery Console. It's where you choose to install Windows again, but it detects that there is an existing installation and offers to do a repair on it.

I tried to get to the XP recovery console to CHKDSK but I have no idea what the administrator password is and after 3 failures I just have to start all over again and waste more time guessing. The funny thing is that I originally installed this XP for my friend about 4-5 years ago, and I can't even get into it. I'm about to get the screwdriver out... Greg
