    Hit f2 or f8 to get into your bios m8 or even delete just after POST test
    One of those three will get you in. just hit them as soon as it counts your ram.

    I dont understand your first post??

    I have stolen money from a DF member and a member of Disqworld. All my personal details including families details are on file and will be made public to everyone if I do not refund the money I stole or send the goods I promised. My name will be ravaged across the net and the consequences will be severe if I do not sort this fucking mess out.

    have you logged into safe mode because in safe mode there is another administrator and that allows you to delete windows users passwords

    Safe mode or not, if an Admin password has been set then it will apply regardless (then again, being the main man, you would know that )


    @Ormie,

    You want an offline registry editor

    Be careful now, it's a dangerous tool in the wrong hands
