Hi. I have a Philips Monitor and Hard drive, Its not ben used for some time. There may be a virus on it. Tried starting it today. Getting the log in Page, Cant recall the Password. Is there some way i can bypass the system to access the Computer. And if so, how can i get rid of the virus, Thank you.

while booting, press F8 several times > select safe mode L log on as administrator > go to start > control panel > user accounts > click on the account that is blocked with password > click reset password > confirm it say if works, i am curious Good luck our patience is big

Or, try Ophcrack Live cd http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/dow... Or, wininternals http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/... UK MP's are thieving scumbags. EU members are worse.

Imperator. No luck,Tried Safe Mode. All i get is ( 1 ) Safe Mode, ( 2 ) Safe Mode with Networking ( 3 ) Safe Mode with command Prompt, Did not get any other options. Did i do something wrong? I got the Log in Page back again afterwards.

Just go to safe mode and you will be asked to log in with your account or the administrator account. Choose the administraor account. Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers

yeah, you need safe mode, it is listed there, and you SAW it our patience is big

Imperator. Yes i eventually sorted it. Did not get the prompt to log in as Administrator. I am using XP Professional Home Edition. Would that have made any difference? im not sure. What im getting now is Mc Fee virus scan stating, ( Some components of Mc Fee, are either missing, or may not have been installed properly. Please reinstall.) Also im getting another Window saying,( You need to have Winsock Version 2.0 installed on your Computer. Please refer to users Manual, System requirements section for information on how to download and Reinstall Winsock 2.0.
