I'm trying to fix a computer here at work. It appears that someone has changed the security rights on the Winlogon container in the registry when they were battling spyware. I'm not sure if they have any backdoors to get back in, but when I try to access the system via safe mode or normal mode, it tries to start the login process to get to a screen and it bombs out. This system has a couple of databases on it that are somewhat important so I can't just reformat it, if nothing else, I'm wondering if I could mount the file system (I'm sure it's ntfs) and pull the data. Does anyone have any clue as to what I can do here? Thanks-

Or why not just slave the drive in another machine and pull the databases off. As long as it wasn't running EFS you should be OK.
 
Are there any bootable utils that would allow me to get into the registry?

I may have to check out Knoppix.... I'm still pretty new with Linux, only been running supported apps on SuSE lately and not venturing out into OpenSource latley.
