Hi,
After cleaning a massive infection, Windows is in dire need of a repair. I have the disc, and was attempting to repair/reinstall it, but I get to a DOS screen that asks for the Administrator Password. Now, I only have one user, w/full admin privileges, and that password doesn't work...When I boot in Safe Mode I do get an Administrator account, no password needed.
I tried just pressing enter at the prompt, but then it just switches to C:\Windows , exiting the Installation CD...
I have also tried going into the Control Panel to turn Administrator User back on, and add a password, but when I click on the Users Icon, nothing loads. (Part of the problems leading me to need to reinstall Windows. I KNOW at this point the easiest thing to do would be to wipe my HD and completely reinstall, but I can't even copy my files to back them up because I can copy but not paste! (Drag & Drop doesn't work either.)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
