I,m sorry I meant to say "I'm trying to use the restore console from the
"windows command processor" but I keep getting jigged for a administrator password that was never created...how do I get around this as i'm about to restore my registry...I haven't created one but it is asking me for it...I am the administrator and have never created a password.
I uninstalled norton and it corrupted the registry and i'm on the second phase of recovery, the first time around it did not ask me for a password I had hit the enter and that was fine because no password was created...
in control panel I had one account which had full admin rights, now there is a second account called:
"ComputerAdministrator"
Password Protected

how do I get rid of this and where did it come from as I'm the only one that has access to my computer.
bon.
