Locked out of all accounts Vista Enterprise
I know this issue has been addressed before by JB at
http://www.jimmah.com/vista/Administ..._of_admin.aspx What makes my situation unusual is that my dell laptop was shipped with vista enterprise, but the operating system cd that was shipped was vista home basic. The reason for this is that I purchased through my daughter's college. I'm still trying to figure out if the college loaded the enterprise or if dell did. In the meantime, I cannot log on to any of the user accounts. My question: Can I boot from the vista basic cd and repair this, or do I need to have the vista enterprise cd? Woody

Flavius,
Thanks for the response. I see that my vista basic cd is 32 bit, but am not sure how to tell about the vista enterprise service pack 1 that came pre installed on the laptop. Can I just try to see what happens when I try the fix (option 3) that jimmah outlines on his site?
