I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but the way i understood it from my cisco teacher is that he tried installing both a Novell and Windows logon in windows XP. It ended up locking him out of his computer, we havn't been able to find any way to get in. Has anybody else had a problem similar to this? Anybody know what to do? it's getting to the point where we're considering reformatting, and we'd loose all of our work on that computer! I'm not sure if i've accurately described the problem...that was just what i interpreted from what my teacher told me. I'll try to post a clearer description of the problem later today.

You can do a variety of things two of the easiest are... 1. Check the boxes to Log on Locally and then log on with the workstation Administrator name and password. 2. Pop out the hard drive, set it to a Slace, connect it to another WinXP machine and then just copy the needed data off the old drive onto the second machine's hard drive. Reinstall Windows on the messed up machine and then copy your data back. 3. Other options depending on how your network is set up and your permsisisons. Try talking to the Domain Admins if you're on AD, or the Novell support people if you have any.....
