460170 2006-06-03 09:28:00 My daughters laptop (for school) had IE hijacked by 'securityuptodate' site. Following instructions to remove it I used msconfig to set the 'boot' to boot in safe mode and now her password does not work and there is no way I can get back into undo msconfig.

The system is a Toshiba and comes with a recover CD but even with this in it will not boot anywhere except to the logon and from there I am stuck.

Any advice welcome - please

When it boots up ot asks you to use this key stroke combination then takes you to the logon screen, using the combination twice does nothing else.
