I have a PC that I am trying to recover some information off of. I
performed a repair using my Windows 2000 Professional CD, but didn't have a
Repair floppy disk. The repair got windows working again, but now I am
unable to logon to the computer, as the administrator password no longer
works and the local accounts appear to be gone. Any suggestions on what to
try?


Thanks,

Joe

The password is whatever it was the last time you backed up the registry.
