Hi all, first time listener, first time caller.
Having made the rediculous error of not unplugging my cable while shutting off the firewall to load Norton back in to try and remove a stubborn virus, I ended up with 6 programs I didn't install and 10 stubborn viruses. That's all been cleaned up now, thanks in part to PC-cillin and Avast! (Norton was useless after all that fuss), however I'm getting error messages now that I'd like to fix. I was told I could just shut down all those little processes that you don't actually need to load at start up (and I did), however it would be nice to fix the problem too, and I'm still having problems loading things like regedit and chkdsk using "run" from the START menu.
I tried putting my windows disk in to do a repair, but after going though the various menues in the repair program, it asks for the administrators password.
I have no passwords. Even for the profiles on the computer I didn't set passwords, let alone the administrator function.
Anyone got a work around, or how to reset the password? I couldn't even find how to get to the Administrator options- I thought it was just in mmc tools?
