Is there a way to reset my computer?

Question

I recently contracted a virus on my computer, and it made it so my admin account is no longer admin, and I cant do anything on it.

So is there andy thing I can do to reboot/reset my computer settings to defualt from the loading screen?

It is a eMachine computer running on windows XP.

Thanks~

Answer 1

you cant reinstall anything with a system builders version of windows, the only option you have is to do a repair of the OS...

Answer 2

Can you not restore to previous date.  If you cannot reboot the computer in safe mode and try to change the admin or restore.

Answer 3

when starting up the computer, hold down ctrl and F11. If you don't get to a screen you havn't seen yet or nothing different happened from not pushing those buttons, restart the computer and try again. Good luck!!!

Answer 4

if you have the recovery cd that came with the computer then put that in and boot from that, if not then when you turn on your computer it will say on the bottom like F1 to enter setup... pick the one with the recovery and that should do it
