Re: Lost Administrators Password

hi, again
I have a piece of info (in text) regarding XP made DOS boot floppy disk
NTPasswd recover & IDE/SATA drv. disk how it runned first time in my system:
Info: Server tyan trinity board Intel (4HT Northood S478) w. ECC RAM & XP
Prof. SP2 installed as Workgroup in a Domain ($Admin shares $C:\ & $D:\ H.D.
via remote controls ..) !! now that was new to me ! truthfully

Before I begin let me share this,
I believe you really deserve some money ... from all of us here and a big
thank you for your free piece of software .. nice work in DOS ! hope it will
work in ISO for better and faster compatibility with my Award BIOS setup
(Boot order)

boot normal in DOS with F.D. NTPasswd after restart from Safe Mode twice

command <-d>

Disks
Disk /dev/sda: 37.0GB 360... bytes
Disk /dev/sdb: 400.0GB 400.... bytes
Canditate Windows partitions found:
1: /dev/sda1 25580MB BOOT
2: /dev/sdb1 381551MB BOOT

Mounting from /dev/sda1 with filesystem type NTFS
NTFS-fs error (device sda1): check_mft_mirror():$MFT and $MFTMirr (record 4)
do not match. Run ntfsfix or chkdsk NTFS volume version 3.1
NTFS-fs warning (device sda1): load_system_files(): Volume has been modified
by chkdsk. Will not be able to remount read-write. Mount in Windows.
NTFS-fs warning (device sda1): load_system_files(): $LogFile is not clean.
Will not be able to remount read-write. Mount in Windows.
Mount NTFS FOR WRITING FAILED !

then if I choose to continue with step two select Path & Registry files
c:\windows\system32
freezes for good, need to re-boot

any ideas why?
the system upon load displays a huge multi partition list with files
extensions I'll try to capture some the next time, but i don't see any other
reason why it fails to continue even when my installation of Windows works
quite well. Is that a sign of infection some how? I had some serious slowing
down system boot-up/shut down speed issues last month & had to recover
stability with a backup Norton Ghost image I had made immediate after XP
installation & network setup Wifi Internet w. DSL Router hardware

hope I'll recover my admin. acc.

Just one Q. why the ISO image doen't show a one when i unzipp the file to a
folder on my hard drive ? is it because i don't have any burning software
installed or something else

what do you recommend sd i have two CD/DVD IDE drivers available for
recording TDK AID-440 Indi MultiFormat & LiteOn Multi DVD-RAM so I can create
an ISO image for better compatibility and security in booting up in DOS

You must have third-party burning software installed in order to burn an
..iso. XP's burning capability doesn't include this. You cannot simply
burn the files to CD; this will not create the bootable CD. You must
burn as an image, not data. Here is a link to a free CD/DVD burning
program that will be able to burn an .iso:
