HELP! - Unable to login to Windows 7 or get to COMMAND PROMPT at start
I have Windows 7 Professional edition (64-bit) installed on my machine.
My computer was linked to a network earlier, where it was mandatory to enter user credentials (ctrl+alt+del) to login every time. When I got off the network, I tried deleting my user profile so I wouldn't have to login every time. Instead, what happened was that I was stuck with the administrator profile.
About a half hour ago, I tried to remove it yet again. What I should have done was just try to disable ctrl+alt+del but I ended up disabling the administrator profile.
The worst then happened, I was locked out of my own computer (obviously I had to try to see if the 'disabling' actually worked). Ever since, I've been scouring discussion boards all over to figure out how to get back it.
Turns out, I can enable the administrator profile through the command prompt.
Here's where the problem lies:-
I CAN'T GET TO THE COMMAND PROMPT WHEN I START MY COMPUTER!
Every time I try to start the computer in SAFE MODE WITH COMMAND PROMPT, it keeps going back to the Windows user login.
How do I stay with COMMAND PROMPT so that I can re-enable the administrator login? Is there a hot key or something I can press that will help staying on the command prompt?
Please help, I'm desperate.
P.S. I don't have the Windows 7 installation CD either.
