Have read every post and still have no answer.
Cannot login as Admin in Safe mode and obviously
cannot get to a command prompt without login.Have
a work laptop XP Pro that no longer even ASKS for
a domain login/pswd.Is there any way in XP Pro to
get to a command prompt to do a restore without
recovery console?
