SIL asked me to fix here compaq laptop that her daughter bollixed up somehow. She has a login password, which I can't get for a couple of days. (She forgot to tell me).
Booted the install disk to do a repair, but the @##$$% XP wants the #$%%^^ password!!!! Catch 22.
Don't know what happened to the laptop, but the keyboard and mouse have been disabled and the display is shrunk down to about half size. I was able to get to the system by installing a USB mouse so I should be able to repair this thing without a reformat and reinstall.. I just need to remove the @##$$%^ password.
Thanks for any advice.
