Children ate my computer. Need help!!

Posted on 03/06/2006 5:40:21 AM PST by Chickensoup

I KNOW it is in News/activism. I want this seen before being sent to the Cheesehole.

I am working on an extra computer. My children got into my computer last night and have made it so I cannot get back into my area. I reloaded Pro so I could at least have windows to look at and I can see my flower and name in user accounts but cannot get to them. I need HELP!! I have bills due today

What did they do? Road runner went down after a power outage and they thought it was the computer. They were in under my daughter's account which I stupidly permitted her administrator status so she could install her Kodak software.

Am I stupid? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSss!!

Are Feeepers brilliant and altruistic? I pray so!!

Would you please help me recover my accounts? Thank you.

What happens when you try to get in the area with your name on it?

Have you tried using System Restore? You are running XP Pro, right? Try going to the start menu, run, msconfig, then run System Restore.

Sounds like your children are the real problem. Maybe they need... correcting ?

Depending on how your system is set up and how you "reloaded" that may be the only thing you have now. You may have to go to your backup hard drive. You do have a backup don't you?

If you reloaded Pro, your other accounts may still show up, but they will not work. You can browse to the old account info (if it still exists) and see if your files are still there (sometimes reloading a Microsoft OS will leave much old info intact and accessible) and try taking ownership of the files to put into your new account. But much info is just lost and will have to be rebuilt.

Good Luck

It sounds like you just need to go into your daughters account, and reset the password for your account. Or, your account may just be disabled.

Go in to your daughters account, right mouse click "my computer" left click "manage" go down to "local users and computers" left click on "users" and look for your user account. Should be able to right mouse click on your user account and reset the password or account.

My accounts usually come up when I boot.

Now when I boot there is a log in spot where I am supposed to type in a name and a password. obviously I dont remember the password
