Why can't I...
...access my encrypted (EFS) files after resetting the password?
- Because in XP and possibly later service packs in win2k the password
itself is used to encrypt the keys needed for EFS.
- Sorry, there is no way to recover the files once the password has been
reset.
...boot off the CD-Rom?
- Check your BIOS manual on how to boot from CD, or if the CD-ROM is on a
SCSI-card, check the cards manual.
- For those of you without manuals: Try hitting ESC or F10 or F12 for
bootmenu right after the RAM-count.
- Or enter BIOS setup and change the boot order. Either you can figure that
one out from the menus, or you really need the manual.
- I don't remember when BIOS-folks started implementing the CD boot (El
Torito) standard, but it was around 1995? Older computers won't CD boot.
- But BIOS-programmers never actually READ the bloody standard, so you may
have a buggy one that only boots some CDs.
- If it boots (first banner page), the same problems as for the floppy may
show, please read on..
