I've used a variation on this technique a load of times so it's definitely worth the effort if you need the machine to boot up.
If it's just the files you need get an empty USB hard drive caddy from eBay, Amazon etc. At least then you only have to take apart one PC and not a second to transplant the drive in to. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

So just to tie this up..
Seems you can boot from a Win10 install DVD, then hit shift-F10 when teh first menu appears to enter a command prompt that allows you to rename utilsmanager to cmd.exe. You can then reboot (without teh DVD) and slect a command prompt before login by clicing on teh utils manager button...
With some suitable commands you can then create a user account that's not p/w protected.
In this case it allowed me to get what I needed form the PC even though I still can't log-in under the old user's profile.
Thanks for the pointers all. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750
