Need help logging in Windows 2000

snyperj · 08-07-2003, 10:00 AM

Our network guy had built an Office2000 install script and put in on a
shared drive. I had been using a development machine that did not have
Office installed, so I decided to to install it using the script file.
At one point during the process, the machine needed to restart itself
and it did. Now the problem--> part of the script included a windows
login. However the login is apparently no good anymore because it
errors out and freezes. I can't get by it except by reooting and then
it just happens all over again. Is there a way to bypass this, login
to windows and then kill it? This is Windows2000 Pro.

What I have tried:
1.) Safe Mode- (still happens)
2.) Holding Ctrl-ALt-Del down when booting up-(still happens)
3.) I can access the registry remotely, looked in hkey\local machine\ software\microsoft\windows\current version \ run and runonce
but was unable to find anything unusual.

doesn;t holding down shift during the logon process, interrupt the autologon? Try that

Thanks- tried it but the login box still comes up, already pre-filled in with the script user and password values, errors out and freezes the system. Same as before.
