(Apparently) a recent klez virus damaged my Administrator
Account, for now I cannot log on to my W2K machine. As I
had no other users set up on the machine, I don't have a
way to complete the boot process. Perhaps the virus
corrupted the password field, which previously was none.
Would anyone know of a fix for this?
