Can't find usernames in registry!!
Hi there,
I posted my problem here before and my problem has not been tackled till now.. Could anyone help me?? Many many thanks... A quick overview of my problem.. I shutted down my laptop properly; and later when i turned it on again, a welcome screen appeared without any user account listed!! To shut down my computer was the only option.. Then i tried to press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice and i got a small pop-up windows with my user name listed asking me to enter the password. I really have no idea for this as i never set a password for my computer. Somehow, I still tried some of my regularly used passwords.. yet, i still couldn't log on my account. An user responded to my problem by suggesting me to download an ultilities which allow to reset the system password (http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/).. I had successfully run the files.. but when it run till to Step 3, a problem hinder me to carry on the process, which as the following.. ***** ===== chntpw Edit User Info & Passwords ==== Cannot find usernames in registry! (Is this a SAM-hive?) Select: ! - quit, . - list users, 0xRID - User with RID (hex) or simply enter the username to change: [Administrator] ***** If i press enter after the sentence, a same sentense appear on screen.. I'm wondering why it can't find my usernames in registry?? Help!! It already half way through the process.. what can i do for thi?? Besides that, another user suggested to press F8 to interrupt the sytem when rebooting.. then choose the option of start windows with the last known good configuration. I had tried this too.. it didn't help in my case.. Could anyone tell me what else can i do?? Thanks heaps... |
