Computer will not boot. I do not have orginal XP disk but I do have a XP Install Disk. I used the XP CD from my other system and the sick HP Laptop begins to load Windows (Blue Screen). I press R(looked like XP file were downloaded and then it went to Black screen. I beleive I entered 1 for C Drive and it asked for Andmin Password and I don't have it. ENTER doesn't work, nor any of my guesses I will contact my company for the PASSWORd but the original Admin has gone to Greener pastours. Is there a way to deviate or retreive the Passwrd or clean up the boot registry or repair tool for registry ?

Please help.

look for the HP Recovery Partition to reinstall the system to day-1 condition.
