Registry Editing Tools (WXP)

[lcscne]

I'm used to running DisableRegistryEditingTools on 9x systems, then using the unlock to get back in. Unfortunatly I ran it on an xp machine loged in as admin thinking I could just run unlock and get back in, oops. What are my options to getting back into the registry with the admin account? How do I unlock regedit for any account for that matter. I do have another administrator account thats not locked, can I use this account even though its under hkcurrent user?

You can slave the drive on the other machine and then use resplendent registrar <a target="_blank" href=http://www.resplendence.com>www.resplendence.com</a> to open the slave registry and edit the key.

There is 3 or 4 way to do this. Let me show you the
easiest way to do it is. Logon the account that you
have regedit restricted. Go to Dosprompt and type:
reg add HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\pol icies\system /v DisableRegistryTools /t reg_dword /d 0 and enter. It will ask to override and say yes.
