F8 will not let me in, have tried several times, starts to load lots of files and then freezes.
I am using the Windows OEM disk that came with the PC
Boots quite happily from this CD, starts windows set up, but when selecting Recovery Console I can not find/do not have the required password to log on as administrator.
This is what happens when you boldly tell someone "that should be easy to fix"
I suspect a reinstall is my only option.
Do they have backups ?? Yer right !!

Thanks for all the suggestions

Cheers
HH

When it freezes on that file...go have a coffee :D
