Well trying to o/c my Opteron 148 and after numerous failed reboots at higher fsb this is what I get.

Wan'ts me to logon and reenter my password. Only now it's not recognizing my password. Tried safemode for administrator and same thing,,,, my password is not working.

I hate reinstalling is that what I'll have to do again???

Do a search for UNIX password crack utility. There are some out there that you can use to reset your password. Basically, you'll make a bootable diskette (that is if you have a diskette drive, otherwise bootable CD.)

1-boot the pc with any bootable CD/FDD for DOS or GHOST9.0 or any 3rd parity that can access the drives
2- go to the path C:\WINDOWS\system32\config and C:\WINDOWSr\epair
3- delete those files
4- restart the pc
5- enjoy
