Computer emergency

Mai-KeroMai-Kero Registered User regular
So my computer just randomly restarted and now won't let me log in as myself. It's saying it's because of Lacking Security Rights or a Corrupt profile.

I have no idea what's wrong, and I have SO MUCH SHIT on that profile.

Any idea what's up?

It's Windows XP on a Dell Vostro 1500. I've had it like five months without problems. My internet went out right before the restart. I tried unplugging the cable modem and plugging it back in and I got a message saying some process was terminated and the computer would restart in 60 seconds.

I need my email. I use Thunderbird. This shit is vital.

    Tried safe mode yet? Should be able to get everything that way. If not, take the HDD out and slap it in a external inclosure or another PC and move off what you need.

    Were you logging in as the admin (meaning, are there any other accounts you could log in as?)

    If you want to find out, and change their passwords to login and fix the screwed account hit up this util:
