A friend of mine on his Win XP machine has this problem. I
found the MS Q307545 with the solution, however I have the
following problems:
1. We cannot use recover console since the Admin password
is either non-functional (because of corrupt hive) or it
is wrong (the client doesn't quite remember)
2. There is no "repair" option when I try to reinstall in
repaire mode (not recover console repair mode).
3. The file system is NTFS, so I cannot manually access
files. What other option do I have (beside wiping
everything) to recover the system? Any help is GREATLY
appreciated.
