My laptop was infected by a virus called systems tools. After paying 59.95 I removed files I thought might be infected. I removed a file that had my windows password on it. Now when I start my lap top and it ask for the password the password is not recognised. What can I do? I'vbe tried control alt delete, nothing happens. I've tried to bypass it with F8. I've tried logging in as the admin. I just need to know how to get past windows log in so I can change the password.
 
Systems Tools is a known virus itself. You're probably going to have to boot from a rescue disk, or your original OS disk that came with your computer. And I hope you have a good, recent backup.
