failing to login the recovery console

[Guest Collin Peter Mhuriro]

good day,

 

 

 

we have a windows 2003 server that is not booting. i have tried to repair

the installation folder to no avail, i have a solution for my problem but it

can only be resolved in the recovery console.

 

 

 

my problem is that i dont have the administrator's password (though my

account has administrative rights), i wanted to find out how i can log in to

the recovery console without the administrators password.

 

 

 

Regards,

 

Collin

Re: failing to login the recovery console

 

Without a password, you won't be able to do much. You might have set up your

computer in advance according to this article

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312149/en-us but I guess it is too late now.

 

What is your solution?

You might be able to apply your solution using WinPE 2. In fact this is now

my favorite tool. To fix boot environment, I now do it regularly using

'bootsect' command. Bootsect command replaces 'fixboot' and 'fixmbr' from

recovery console.

Try resetting it first.
