I set my UPS to hibernate when teh battery had 5mins
left. Immediately after I clicked "apply" the computer
hibernated. Now, whenever I logon the computer
hibernates automatically. This is obviously a problem
with the UPS service or settings. Safe Mode and other
user accounts are haveing the same issues. What is the
easiest way to disable this and get back into windows?
Can I disable the service in the Recovery Console?
Thanks,
Chris

Maybe unplug the UPS (probably a USB or serial cable) from the computer
while you boot up. Just a thought....
