I'm trying to retrieve some photographs of my little girl on my hard drive that won’t boot up. It’s partitioned with five users. On placing my windows XP disc to repair its asking for an admin password, for some reason it’s not unlocking.

So a friend suggested using Knoppix to boot the hard drive and try and find a way to unlock the passwords. I've downloaded the software, boot disc, via Nero Express 6 and it goes through its "bit" and then stops, nothing.

There are a couple of questions,

1) Will this software help me get the photos back??
2) What I’m I doing wrong?

I'm worry that I’ll lose my information.

Any help


Many thanks
