Hello All. my laptop stopped working. I removed the hard drive and put it in an external encloser and it workes. (this confirms that the hard drive did not crash) However because I had an admin password while it was in the laptop I cannot access the admin docs/areas on the harddrive. I know the password but dont know how and where to enter it when I access the hard drive while as an external USB drive since windows XP does not boot from this drive anymore .I can access and see all info that is not in the admin area. Please help. email is <email snipped>

I'm not familiar, but I assume you've thoroughly searched Google, correct?

Secondly, please don't bump your thread.
