    f you have forgotten your password just load windows normally. At the login screen hit shift key continuously to get to command prompt. Once in command prompt type NET USER (USERNAME) (NEWPASSWORD) AND HIT ENTER. Then Login normally using your new password
    i used this at command prompt - net user administrator 1234 and rebooted the pc and login as Administrator with password 1234
    I used original win 2003 CD to load the computer
    you can also check the computer users by typing - NET USER at the command prompts
    hope it helps someone

There's only one link that says click here for diagnostic and repair details. I click and it gives the details but no links. If i close that window my only option is to click finish so it'll restart or if i do nothing the timer will restart automatically. Can you help please?
