Was uninstalling some software during the daylight savings time change over. Tried to reboot my XP Pro System on a dual drive dual boot OS system.
When the Login Screen requiring my password appeared, the mouse pointer was locked and I could not tab to the login in screen either. My Login Icon is the only one that shows up at XP and Vista start ups. Tried in "Safe Mode", "Last Good Configuration" etc. The Login screen is still frozen under those options. Even tried the XP SP3 original Disk, and don't want to risk a reinstall at this time. Have too many files and licenses under XP Pro to risk them.
I can see the XP Drive and files when booting into Vista. Have spent several hours therefore backing up some critical files.
Can I bipass the XP Pro Login screen somehow?
Can I from Vista modify the User Accounts in XP Pro so as to remove the Passwords?
When booting from the XP Pro Cd, it keeps loading and never quite gets to the repair XP screen.
This is a desperate situation for me, thank you. I need to perform on Monday with these programs from XP intact and operating.
How can I boot into the "command prompt" from the XP Disk? if I need to?
