    syskey (password on startup of windows) *RESOLVED*

    I was messing around with windows when I found in the system32 directory the syskey.exe... So just for the fun of it I made my computer startup using a diskette. A file (startkey.key if I remember correctly) and it reads a password from there to open the computer... Well since I saw what it did I deleted the file from the diskette and went to change the setting back to not needing a diskette and it told me to put in the diskette for verification (The one I had just erased) So now, the computer is closed and when I open it I get the option to put in the disk or reboot. Safe mode doesn't work or any other startup method. So, how screwed am I? What options do I have besides reinstalling windows (that I hope will work)?

    Thanks
