My hard disk was damaged by an application crash and I
got the "windows\system32\config\SYSTEM missing or
corrupted" error messagewhen trying to start Win XP.
After running CHKDSK I regained access to all my
partitions but got the same error message when trying to
start Windows.
I followed the procedure in Knowledgebase 307545(How to
Recover from a Corrupted Registry...) through Part Two
successfully but I'm stymied at Part Three because
Recovery Console won't let me in at that stage. It asks
for the administrator password, which apparently is
corrupted because it won't accept the one I had written
down, nor will it accept it with "Caps Lock" on, nor will
it accept a blank entry.
Is there a way to get past this to run the batch file
in Part 3? I am using NTFS.
