Hello everyone.
At this point i'm in over my head and have a PC that has pictures I cannot lose. I am usually fairly good with PC stuff but I wanted to stop before things got any worse (if thats even possible at this point).
I have a WHS and was having problems accessing the share directory from my Office PC. After some digging in google I found a link that I thought would fix my problem, this is where things started to get bad. I thought the problem had something to do with the fact that I had two accounts on my office PC, one named Mark and one named Guest. I also have those same accounts on my WHS. Every time I tried to log access the Shared directory on my WHS it would constantly ask me for a name and password and the only one that worked is the main Administrator account set up on the WHS.
I found a link that told me to change the names of my accounts on my office PC to something different than the names of my "Mark" account that I have on my WHS.
At the time on the PC I had an account named guest with no admin privaleges and an account name Mark with admin privalges. I used the line "control userpasswords2" from the "run" box in Vista. I made the guest account Admin and deleted the "Mark" account. I then deleted the password on the Guest account. I guess I must have accidentally checked the box that says users must log on with a name and password by mistake.
Now when I try to log onto my PC the default login name is "Mark" even though I deleted the account. If I change my login name to "Guest" it tells me "You cannot log on because the logon method you are using is not allowed on this computer. Please see your network adminstrator for more information."
If I try to log in with "Administrator" it tells me "Your account has been disabled. Please see your system administrator."
So there is no password with the account "Mark", the account shouldnt even exist any more.
I can't log in with Guest or Administrator. At this point all I care about is getting the pictures of my three month old child off the PC as they are the only place I have copies of them. This whole thing was being done to get my WHS working properly to have backup copies of my photos, now I have nothing.
Please please please help. I cannot lose these photos.
I can't even get into safe mode with command prompt, it keeps goes to the grahpical windows login even when I select that option.
