Thanks, saved my install that somehow got messed up by using CloneZilla and having both drives still connected when booting just now using these instructions.

Is there any other account? if not then you will have to reset the password or do a fresh install of Windows.

Have you tried to restore, is restore the only option? You can also try to repair the OS using a Bootable Windows USB.

Hey I had an issue where my battery was fully charged but my laptop died if I unplugged it, then it crashed and displayed this issue. I left it alone for a few days, it started to boot normally but the battery issue still remains. Also I started to use my moms laptop and it had the same battery issue after me using it for 3 days. Help please

What is the issue you’re having with Method 3?

how do you undo method 3?

Are you able to login now but see an incorrect account?

I feel defeated and am ready to call supergeek or some other professional help which i cant really afford. Ho hum

Hi there. Thanks to the first method I got my laptop going again. I’ve been online and on the phone with Toshiba and Acronis people for over 5 hours with no solutions. You guys got me going in 15 minutes. Thank you very much.

Can you elaborate? I can’t understand your problem
