  • Need computer help

    Well I did it now, my super fast 'puter must have gotten a virus and it has locked me out when I put in my password. I get an error 5 code when I try to change it and ohpcrack has not helped and just plain does not work. I did try to use a key from my wife's computer but all I get is an "error has occurred". I got in my making a guest account and everything is there but I cannot see my files as this user. I changed the password but nothing has helped. PM me if you would like to take a crack at this, I did find that when I looked at all the accounts there is one that I think is the culprit and I cannot get it out. It is called "Trusted Installer" and help is appreciated.

    can you boot in safemode to the admin account? if so do that, and back it up to the last good backup.

        Well that did not work, but I did get into safe mode and I found my recovery discs and from there I was able to set the computer back to an earlier time. I then rebooted it, used the password that I knew was good and I am in, I did remove it for now. Time to do a full back up today.

          well, in a round about way it worked at least.
