Hello there,

I'm completely new here but have read (I think) all the relevant stickies but apologise if I missed one!

I have a laptop running xp pro that I've booted to Knoppix STD in order to reset the Administrator password.

After doing this, I still can't log in. I went back and checked what users were installed and also reset/unlocked the Guest password.

Knoppix is adament that there is no password on the admin/guest accounts but I still cannot log in as any user.

Is there a way to get into this machine? or am I into file recovery and re-installing?
