I use windows 7 professional, it was logged into the administrator account, i tried to change the domain and after restarting i tried to log in and it says administrator account disabled, there is no other user account on this system. so now i am locked out of the system. i have tried to boot in safe mode but it takes me back to log in screen.
If you have the install DVD or a rescue CD/USB see this approach
How to Enable the Hidden Windows 7 Admin Account Using the Registry
Thank you MilesAhead i tried your suggestion and after entering %windir%\system32\config\SAM in the load hive file name field i got this error message
Cannot load x:\windows\system32\config\SAM: the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
X: should be the boot drive(the rescue CD/USB) Try C:\Windows\system32\config\SAM
Edit: also on any of those online tutorials it is a good idea to read through the comments if there are any at the bottom of the article. Sometimes they point out mistakes or misspellings etc..
Yes that did it. Thank you
