erilynMy home computer remains dead. Weep for me!
We managed to make the changes in the BIOS and boot from the WinXP cd-rom, and go in to make repairs (because a file is corruped, ntfs.sys or something), but then we get asked for the Administrator password. We almost certainly wouldn't have set a password, but null doesn't work. Nor does everything else we've tried - spaces, admin, password, administrator, people's names, pet's names, default, passwords I tend to use - nothing.
Our IT manager has suggested a few things, but we're going to have to take it out to the supplier, which we probably won't do til Friday. So if you need to contact me, I'll be checking lj and email only while I'm at work.
Grrr...really not happy :(
