Hi there,

A computer tech as leave our Cie and we are not able to access
recovery console due to a password protection.
We have to replace a system file damaged

I've try many things found on the internet but nothing resolve the problem.

- Boot with a Win98 Disk

My next step in to reinstall XP but ...
