Hey everyone,

Most likely because of a bad regedit to get rid of a nasty trojan, I now need a password to LOGIN to windows (XP Home), EVEN when trying to login as the Administrator in safe mode, when I never set any passwords in the FIRST place But that's another story...

Luckily, I did export a .reg file before I edited the registry and after hours and hours of searching, haven't come across an in depth guide to import that file into the registry using DOS or the Recovery Console since I'm unable to login. Is it even possible to do this? I have some very important work on this HARD drive so I'm more than willing to do whatever it takes to at least salvage the files I need.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated

-DanJust an update, I just gave up on restoring Windows on that drive, I just bought a new drive and am installing a clean version of windows.Great.
In the meantime to avoid this issue in the future read up on creating and restoring SOLID backups of the registry...
I use ERunt.
