Hey All.
Last night i had to fixed a laptop. The problem was the SP2 was installed and after that windows could not start (blue screen) i fixed problem like that before by going to Recovery Console and uninstalling SP2 - WORKS.
Unfortunately this time Admin password was lost so i couldnt do it. Ive tryd Windows Repair which crashed halfway, I ended up taking HDD out of laptop and bacing it up, taking ownership of all files etc, thn migrated it back to freshed installed windows.
Is there a way that i can performe password recovery (some bootable cd etc) or force to change it. Also i want to be sure that after that files that has been encrypted will be accessible.
Thanks a lot
Chris
