I was running on my machine a Seagate Serial ATA harddrive (120gb) and had data corruption of the registry (Windows XP Pro). The data on the partions was retrieved but the data that was under the administrator account on the C drive is currently being stopped by the administrator password. No prompt is given just access denied. :sad: This is with the old serial ata as a slave drive.

I was thinking of installing Windows back over the old install and I am thinking that the data will still be there and accessible.

Is there a better way or a program I can use that will break the admin password?

TIA
