Need Help Immediately!

I have Windows Vista 32 bit and 64 bit on the same computer. The 32 bit
wasn't booting up very well so I put in the boot up disk and made a repair.
So far everything worked out fine. The next time I tried to get into my 64
bit that hard drive wouldn't boot up correctly. So, I did the same thing to
my 64 bit interface, but I used the 64 bit repair disk. Here's the problem!
I am unable to type in my password. I computer is asking me to reset my
password and I never reset my password to diskette. I didn't feel I needed a
password reset, but apparently the repair wiped out my password and the
ability to use my keyboard.

Please, didn't tell me I'm lost everything on that hard drive. Is there
anyway to solve this problem? Please call me if you can't email soon!

for the password is the same on both drives.

Hi Shep,

You could try booting up in 32 bit Vista and follow the steps in this link
to create a password reset disk. Then boot up in 64 bit and try it.
