hi there
i cant get into my laptop due to this windows login loop problem either
this is because i deleted a program called windows sa thinking it was a virus
well after a day of searching the web for help, i have managed to get to the recovery console. i did this by using the dos command prompt and running winnt.exe in the windows/i386/ directory. i was told i didnt have a 'smartdrive' but continued anyway, and although the winnt program never actually said it had finished copying the files over, the next time i started my PC i was able to access the recovery console.
the problem now is that i cant login to the consolde in order to copy the userinit.exe and wsaupdater.exe files.
it asks which installation i would like to login to, and i select the only one: '1: C:\WINDOWS', by typing 1 and hitting enter
now it asks for the password: bugger
i dont think i ever set one, and just pressing enter doesnt help
can anybody help?
bare in mind, i dont have a floppy drive, and my windows xp setup cd doesnt appear to work (hence me having to install the recovery console instead of just booting from cd)
any help would be greatly appreciated
p.s. you'll probably guess from my language im not the most computer literate person on earth.
