Window won't start up

November 4, 2006 12:59:16 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Ok whenever I start my computer it starts up stays on the boot skin and then moves and it says something about a primary password. So I never get to log in. So I have to reboot my computer so its like everything just started over and still its the same thing. I think it's because of the thing that changes your boot skin I had just installed it can somebody please help me?

You need to boot into safe mode if possible. [F8] as soon as you see the Windows logo.
Log in using your admin password if needed.
Open Bootskin and set teh bootskin to the default.
You should be fine then

Jafo, I rtfm, but it seems as if this is just a proggie to 'raw' write any file to a floppy disk. Couldn't find any info on how to use it to alter system passwords.

Oops...that was/is only part of it...

The file is called bd040116.zip ....it uses rawrite to create a 'nix bootdisk to access admin passwords.

It works....I've used it on 3 different occasions....when people's passes were corrupted...
