Re: Can't recover - admin p/w not accepted.



JRS skrev:
I have a problem and get a message that windows can't start because windows root\system32\hal.dll is missing or corrupt. I suspect something went wrong with a partition resize. However, I can't get at the recovery tools on the CD as it tells me my admin p/w is not correct when I attempt recovery. I have been using it for months and I know its correct. Can anyone advise?

Thanks

Jon



are you using XPhome or XPpro?

the admin p/w is the admin p/w for the built-in admin-account
not for an account with admin-privilege.
