Log on Log off Loop

[bklyn1028]

Ok,
bear with me....this is my "BOSS'S" COMPUTER. At the log in screen it says
his name, or admin...either when you log on says saving settings, then in a split second logs off. I researched and put in windows CD, went to recovery console and it now wants administrator password, which the admin password won't work. It seems that administrator just popped up there, no password works. Can't get into safe mode either, logs on logs off.
So, booted from windows CD again, hit F8, did repair, it loaded files, then it wanted to load windows, i took out cd, hit Shift F10, and it brought up the users on the system, all it had was Guest, Boss, and Admin, no administrator.
Any thoughts, and by the way, please tell me i didn't wipe out his hard drive.
never formatted.
thanks

You don't say whether or not the issue was resolved after repair...no way to know if you wiped his drive or not until that's answered.

Also, your issue is somewhat common, but a couple of different causes such as malware known as BlazeFind. Link. Link. Link. KB555648.

Well, now you know the most-likely culprit is infection. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
