Need some pc help!

[Init2winit]

I have a windows password on my laptop (not a user password), and apparently I contracted some sort of virus which changed it. I've done some research and I believe I can get around it if I can get into DOS. That is my problem, how do I get into DOS without going through windows? I've tried F5 upon start up, but I don't have an option for a command prompt or DOS. I'm clueless at this point. BTW, its windows xp professional. Any help will be appreciated!

press "del" when you get to the startup screen i think and look for the command prompt......


i dont do it very often so its kind of hard to think about how it looks like.

so you cannot login to windows itself????

do you have an administrator acct and a user acct..... login as an admin...??

[Init2winit]

Its a windows log in password, not a user password.

[wantboost]

if you cut the power when the windows startup screen appears the next time you start it up a screen should pop up that gives you the option to start up in safe mode, safe mode w/dos , safe mode wiht networking, last settings that worked, start up normally.

Yeah, which is the same as pressing F5/F8. Still no option to open dos without going through windows. I guess I'm gonna have to go buy a windows cd and start over.

[Mr. Clean]

get a mac... that'll fix it

[man]

get a mac... that'll fix it

Hooray for PCs with training wheels!!! (macs)

[Benefit]

press all the buttons with your face

[Mr. Clean]

press all the buttons with your face

also a good option

[redrumracer]

try taking the battery out of it, and not just the main battery but actually take it apart and there should be a smaller battery in it. take that out and it should reset it. that or if you have the refresh disk put that in and restart the computer.

[xwallabix]

f8 on start, ull figure it out from there call if you need help ive run a PC company for bout 6 years now

from my experience, windows professional sucks anyway. I've always had a better time with home edition, and my brother runs a media version of windows for writing music. we always found professional to have more problems for some reason. I would recommend switching out of windows pro.
