Locked out of my Windows box

[dbuttcheek69]

Every time i try to log in, whether its as an administrator or as a regular user, it loggs me off before it even finishes logging in.

I keep getting a message that says "the security log is full. Only an administrator can log in to fix the problem."

could this be the problem? i didnt change the secpol settings that refuse to allow loginsin if the events cannot be logged or anything like that.

really need some help here. thanks
(yes i already googled it)

Tried booting in Safe Mode?
It doesn't sound like a problem with the passwords, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get past the login box at all.

Here's a KB article.

It assumes you can log in using Safe Mode. Just glanced through it actually.

no safe mode does not work either, it was one of the first things i tried

and its not that i forgot my passwords, because, well, i didnt.

it reads "logging in"...
"loading your personal settings"...or w/e,
then it goes right to "logging off..." and takes me right back to the login screen

any suggestions?

Do you have another machine you can log into? If you do, open a command prompt and type 'net use \\othermachine\ipc$ /user😱thermachine\administrator' and then enter the password.

Then run 'eventvwr \\othermachine' from the run box and clear the security log.

naw im only online cuz i installed an old copy of xp home on another partition.

Is there any way that i can clear the Logs from this operating system on the other one?

i have complete access to the entire file system.

you may just have to reinstall. at least your data is still there. looks like your windows installation got fcvkd 🙁

Try logging into the partition you are able to get into and navigate to the following folder on "locked out" partition:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config

In here there are 3 files:
AppEvent.Evt
SecEvent.Evt
SysEvent.Evt

These are your even logs...You can move them by following this KB article. I just barely glanced through it, but it may help
Let us know if you get it fixed.
