Hello again,

Good to hear you were able to try out this process on your D: partition.Regarding your Administrator password,it is more likely that you have forgotten it.To reset or change it,boot to your D: partition then go to Start-Run and then type  control userpasswords2 then press enter.The window that pops up has a list of every user in your system.Click on the Administrator's then click reset.

Restart your computer and run Recovery Console on your C: partition.Good luck.

Lenny.
