How to access my computer on Windows Vista activation screen?

[svz235]

So my computer decided to lock itself up and now I'm stuck on the genuine activation screen. I have a crack somewhere on my computer, but the folders that I need access to, I only know how to access them if I go to my computer and click on the tabs on the left sorry for going way off topic but I really help with this
Edit: don't have the crack anymore :-(

There will be a phone number on the screen eventually. Call it. (Have a credit card handy.) You'll have to pay for an activation code for Windows.

If you've already bought Windows Vista and you have the code, your original activation code should still be good. Best bet would be to call the MS product activation hot-line.

AF can't help with cracks and circumventing DRM, and discussion is prohibited, as that's against forum rules and is a felony. However it's quite possible an update broke/defeated whatever crack you were using.

If Win is just stopping at activation and won't run, you can still get access to your documents etc. by booting a live Linux OS from CD or USB.

You're out of options then I'm afraid. We can't help with cracks/circumventing windows activation etc.

Any issues with the lock, please feel free to drop me a PM.
