Our friendly PCWorks team was very kind trying to help me figure out about
my dialup, but the bottom line was that I couldn't fix it. In my
frustration, I decided to re-install Windows.

Windows XP won't let you do that. I re-installed a copy of Windows on top of
the old one, in order to fix damaged files, and I did a massive Windows
Update.

My dialup connection was just as bad as before, but the re-installation did
remove my sound, USB, and graphics drivers. The system refused to recognize
the drivers on my motherboard CD. That CD had worked in the past.

I tried to format Drive C: (I have several NTFS partitions; Windows is on
Drive C:)

However, Windows won't let me format a drive with system files.

I tried to use Format in the Recovery Console. However, it asked for my
password. I don't have a password. After trying three passwords, it
restarted the computer.

How can I bypass the password question in Recovery Console and format Drive
C:?
