Cannot login to XP SP3 in VMWarePlayer virtual machine in safe mode
- by Alper
Hello,
Here is my setup
Host OS: XP SP3
Guest OS: XP SP3 (using VMWare)
I checked the /SAFEBOOT option in System Config utility in guest for troubleshooting. Now the guest OS boots up in Safe Mode but I cannot login with my user id/password.
Here is what I tried:
[domainName]\[userid] for user name = Login Fails
Administrator with blank password = Login fails
Safe Mode with Networking = Login fails
Safe Mode with Command Prompt = Login fails
Last Known Good Configuration = starts in safe mode, login fails
Start Windows Normally = starts in safe mode, login fails
Don't have cd to get to the recovery console
Any ideas?
