    MacBook Pro drive compression killed my login


    Yesterday morning I got the bright idea, since I had so many problems running out of space, to compress the drive and the underlying folders. The process said it would take about 6 hours but was complete in under an hour. Anxious to reboot and see just how much more room I had, I did so very quickly and found that my login on the Windows side (Bootcamp) failed several times and found no way to fix it. I did see one site that mentioned doing an alteration of the registry but I can't find a way to access it. Because I can't get into Bootcamp, I can't find a way to see which version is installed. Attached is the error I repeatedly encountered. Thank you in advance for any feedback you can provide!

    Hello,
    Try strelec livecd in uefi mode.
    If boot is successful create new user and browse for old user account and copy data.

    Hello Corkster,

    You might see if you may be able to use option 1 in the tutorial below to fix this. If you do not have an administrator account to sign in to, you can use the note under step 1 to enable the built-in Administrator account at boot to use to fix your account.

    I downloaded Strelec but when I try to run any of the exe files it asks for a password.

    Here is one example, and it doesn't matter which file I try to open, it still asks for a password...
