Please help. I made the mistake of deleting the entire
CLSID folder from my registry. I was adding a program and
it told me to remove a potential virus...as I was
searching for it, I was interupted and accidently deleted
the WHOLE CLSID file. we have been attempting to use the
recovery console...which we understand, however we cannot
come up with a PASSWORD. I never gave an administrator
passord and now I'm stuck! does anyone know how I can get
past this?

thanks,

A. Magill
