Update: I finally cracked my Windows 7 computer and got my admin privileges back. Now I have a phone rooting computer.

The basic problem was that I had forgotten my admin password and couldn't do anything as root. Also, I don't have the install CD.

I had to find the image online buried in a repo somewhere. Then I had to DL a program called 'Rufus' to make a stick that would boot a Windows OS...something special that Rufus (and a few other programs) does that makes something say 'this is a Windows install'.

I had to take all this stuff over to my mom's computer and make the bootable USB sticks there because I cannot run Rufus without an admin password. Also, Rufus is a .exe and will not run on Linux.

The boot stick was successful and I was able to use the product key on the bottom of the laptop to reinstall a fresh copy and set a new password.

Now to get back to running some rooting software tests...

@b4t54ndw1ch CAN please log out of the Forum restart the browser you are using login again and see if that fixes the problem as a first move. Thanks.

I believe you. I don't think I'll be working on all 3 concurrently, but I am currently gathering data for all 3.

There will likely be a point where I break off and focus on one specifically.

@b4t54ndw1ch Normally when I get this on occasionloging out shutting everything down including (Prob out of habit) pc/laptop/phone and restarting fixes it. If there is still an issue today I will push it further along on Monday
