Windows XP Professional, not knowing better I set msconfig to boot in Safe mode. I was unable to log into safe mode because of a password I don't have. A friend tried to do an update and now I am stuck in a loop where setup won't run in safe mode and restarts over and over. I can't do repair because that is also password protected. I want to get back to my normal login so I can work on the computer. Can this be done without hacking? I know you don't help with that and I would rather not have to do that. This is a work computer that was given to me for consulting and I can't get the original disks or passwords, but I have my account login if I can gat back to normal mode. Any help is appreciated.
