Hopeless - Please Don't Tell Me That!

I made a copy of a virtual machine and modified it to work with an
environment outside our domain. I have locked myself out of this VM and am
now realizing that it would have been a good idea to have secondary logons,
which I have attempted to use but without success - apparently, not created.

Tried a password breaker but this version hangs up in the virtual environment.

Please tell me there is a way to get into my Virtual XP!

What happens if you disable the integration components and log in with a
user ID of XPMUser and a blank password? (or the password you set when you
first installed XP Mode)

How would I go about disabling the integration components?

I am using VM 2007

The easiest way to do it is when the VM is hibernated, go into the settings
for the VM, left mouse click on "Integration Features" on the left, and
uncheck "Enable at startup" on the right.

Waited for the screen to turn black and clicked on Edit and Settings and only
see "Pointer integration". there is no other reference to integration save
components.

I am also running HyperV on a Server 2008 machine. Is it possible to
transfer the VM there hopefully providing better results? I'm new at this and
will be taking it slow.

I just looked at your first message and it says you aren't running Windows
Virtual PC, and I am assuming it's VPC 2007, so it's a totally different
problem than I was thinking, so my mistake. My guess is you're probably
going to have to either start over or try another password breaker
unfortunately.

And yes, you can transfer an XP VM to Hyper-H, but you need to uninstall the
VPC Additions, copy it across, and assume it will ask for activation again
as the hardware is quite different, and then after you copy the .vhd to the
Hyper-V server, you'll have to create a new VM and once it's started, you
can install the Hyper-V integration components. Doing this really isn't
going to help with the lockout problem though...
