I am using a PC with Win2000 SP4 and I have caused a problem that has locked me out of the PC. I seem to have acrtivated a RAS setting, that requires me to login with a dialup connection, in order for my password to be accepted. This is a home computer, and there is no network as such. I have broadband. How can I bypass, to change the setting?

How to Always Use the Log On Using Dial-Up Connection Option How to remotely edit the registry: http://www.rwin.ch/xp-live/regedit.htm John sruli wrote: Show quoteHide quote > I have a similar problem. > > I am using a PC with Win2000 SP4 and I have caused a problem that has locked > me out of > the PC.

There is no remote network that I am aware of. So far as I can tell,
the network is the 'domain' of the computer. Which is a domain of one. I don't have an ERD. (*smacks head repeatedly*) The computer is not on a LAN. I don't think that remotely editing the registry is a possibility...

I should try to get a bootable disk and edit the registry key. Does it
matter that my hard drive is formatted FAT32? I am also going to call my broadband company. Maybe they can do the remote edit.

Interface Card bootable, the boot information comes from a network location. As opposed to the floppy drive, the CD drive, or the hard drive.

bootable or live disk. Maybe I can open DOS and edit the registry through there? Opening the machine and removing the hard disk may be unneccessary major surgery. I can probably find a bootable disk. You know I made a win2000 installation disk some time ago. Thing is, for some reason, the disk is not bootable in my computer. (Although other installation disks are, and this disk is bootable in other computers.) Show quoteHide quote "John John - MVP" wrote: > It doesn't matter that the file system is FAT32.

registry. As far as I know there are few if any DOS or Windows 98 applications that can properly read Windows NT registry files. I think that Resplendence software had a Windows 98 version that could edit the Windows NT registry. The easiest way is with another Windows 2000/XP installation. (I don't think I have ever been able to load a Windows 2000 hive with Windows NT 4.0) Otherwise use a PE disk or a Linux registry editor. PE disks are preferable, Linux editors can be a bit complicated... http://www.ubcd4win.com/ UBCD for Windows http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ Bart's Preinstalled Environment (BartPE) bootable live windows CD/DVD John sruli wrote: Show quoteHide quote > (: No, I meant, since it is FAT32, maybe I do not even need a win2000 > bootable or live disk.
