Disabed User Accounts/Can't login. How do i get CMD before LOGIN?

[gonzoamerican]

My User accounts have all been disabled except one that has my avatar, but isn't the admin account ive been using. it has a different mouse speed for one, and the password isn't the one i've been using for months.

Guest is disabled.

I have tried every password cracker. None of them can figure out the password for said 'unknown' admin account, and some of them like hiren's don't even boot, even though my boot order is CD then WIN.

I even DLed my version of Windows Install AND system restore discs, burnt the iso's correctly, and neither of them will actually boot. My laptop came with no disc and has the internal system restore thing which is why i had to DL them on a different computer.

I need to figure out how to get a cmd prompt before login so i can use "net user administrator /active:yes" or even for the guest account. I know the install/repair discs give c prompt options, but i can't get either of them to boot. and yes i have the boot order so it boots from cd before booting windows.

any help?

When you logon to the non admin account does your optical drive work?
If it's working ok then you could try booting from a USB flash drive.

 

[gonzoamerican]

There are no possible accounts to login to.

I have the 'administrator' account that has my avatar, but not my password or settings, as i can tell clearly from the mouse speed being set alot slower than i've been using for months now.. Also have other account option, where there has never been another account. In this i've tried loggin in as administrator with my password and it doesnt work, and as guest which tells me has been disabled.

No chances of logging in. I really just need the cmd before login screen.

what happens when you put the password in?

 

[Slartybart]

what happens if you don't put in a password?

I have to admit, that I'm not clear on the issue. You see two accounts on the login screen
one is your account but your think the settings have changed and you cannot log in using the password you've always used
the other account is unknown, but it is not a guest account

Fair assesment?

take a camera shot of what you see and post it on this thread.
Names of things always help communication

slartybart instead of "my account"
MoboGenie instead of "the other account"

(MoboGenie is just something I saw recently - you would use the names that you see on the screen for both accounts)

Hmmmmmm.

Are you the owner of this computer?

 

[gonzoamerican]

Yes, im the owner of this computer.

And yes, it is seeming like my comp is a dead fish at this point.

So i have on the login screen an account called 'administrator' and an option to type in another account. In the past before my issue i had been using an account which was also called admin.. But had isnt the same account obviously becausemy password isnt working. I've tried logging in as administrator using my password, and as guest. The admin says 'incorrect user or password' and guest says 'user has been disabled'. Also know that before this, i never had any other options besides my 'administrator' account, and at boot would immediately give me the 'wrong user/password' screen, making me hit ok and then logging into my account.

Im assuming that the account ive been using was a phony admin account, and the one that still exists is the original. The mouse speed setting is now defaulted, as i can tell by it being alot slower. I suspect someone used my computer, and switched thisand created a remote account from somewhere, and when i found it, everything is locked up.

I know that if i could get into the cmd i could at least enable the guest account or evn my old admin account, and kick up the privilages from there to get to a point to check out the actual accounts and find out what was going on.

Again, could just fix this with cmd before log in. And putting in no passwords also doesnt work.

 

[Slartybart]

That didn't help me at all....

It's the account names that keep thowing me off
administrator is the account name that is shown on the login screen - yes?
And then you said: In the past before my issue i had been using an account which was also called admin
after that you switch between admin and administrator - it is really confusing to me.

The good news is that I think I understand what you mean when you say
an option to type in another account
>> you mean the switch user button?

Remember no one can see what you see, so exact phrasing or pictures really help.

This is really a confusing statement:
Also know that before this, i never had any other options besides my 'administrator' account, and at boot would immediately give me the 'wrong user/password' screen, making me hit ok and then logging into my account.

Thanks for the no password test results - it didn't work.

I'm not helping solve this so I'm going to back out of this thread.

Good luck.

Sorry for the abrev and typos, im posting from my phone.

By my old admin.. Account i meant 'administrator'. Knew i shoulda just thumbed that one out.

And the confusing statement is confusing. It would boot as if i had typed a password incorrectly, and i would have to say okay and login. This seems like i had something trying to type in a password automatically that was wrong.

I actually tried uploading images from my phone, but it wont fully load. So i will say there are 5 screens i can get.
-administrator login with switch user button
-incorrect user/password (obtained thru typing my password)
-choice between administrator and other user
-other user with text fields for both user and password.
-user disabled. (obtained by typing 'guest' with any/no password)

I suggest you do a clean install and hopefully all the important data has been backed up.

Yeah....it seems permissions and policies have been completely thrown out of whack.

 

[gonzoamerican]

How would you suggest getting a bootable copy of the installation disk or sytem repair disk? Both have a cmd option, which is al i need. Thanks for all your helps.

Here you go,

Windows 7 Direct Download Links, Official Disk Images from Digital River

 

[gonzoamerican]

cool, thanks. that seems like it might work... if it boots correctly.

any recommendation of which one to DL?
obviously the english home premium x64, but as far as:
-SP1 U (media refresh)
-SP1 (old)
-RTM

any knowledge of the differences and which one i might should DL?
im thinking any might be fine, seeing as tho i just need the prompt and not actualy installing the ware..

i also read in a thread somewhere while trying to fix my problem, someone had trouble booting one of these files, judging by the file name, and they changed the iso name to 'WINDOWS7' and it worked fine... so theres another DVD to burn if it doesn't boot from the disc with its current file name..

thanks again. hope this works, and i will let you know.
and any more suggestions are great too, just in case.

 

[gonzoamerican]

now I DLed the SP1 (old) version, and it won't boot.

any ideas why or know if those files actually boot?
im burning them in powerISO, at the slowest speed.
i do not get it.

 

[carwiz]

Are you burning it to a USB or DVD? Check the BIOS and make sure which ever one is the first boot device.

I've never had a problem burning a DVD with Windows. Right click on the ISO file and choose burn. Can't get much easier.

 

[gonzoamerican]

burning to DVD, and yeah, CD drive is supposed to be booting first according to my BIOS setup..

havent tried a flash drive, or your right click iso burning method.
will try those.

ay ay ay.
