I have already attempted that, Duck. I have also tried to get Windows running from a boot disk with no luck.

Manual login shows that there are no user accounts at all, including Administrator account.

Possible causes:
- Trojan
- The dreaded Windows SP2

Conclusion:
- Take image of HD to save data (last backup was a month ago)
- Wipe Windows and reinstall (without SP2)
- Install image reader
- Retrieve data
- Lots of headaches
