Hi Everyone,
Not sure where to post but I am completely lost and need help urgently. Hope you guys can provide me the solution.
I have Windows XP on my machine and was working fine with all the softwares. Today I installed "cygwin" on my machine and was playing with it. I am not sure what command I fired which caused this issue BUT my administrator user is now changed to "cron_server" (I was installing cron service from cygwin)
When I rebooted my machine, the administrator user is replaced with "cron_server". I can login fine, but everything is changed as if it is a new machine. Data is safe but here is the ownership from cygwin:
drwxr-xr-x 1 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2010-03-08 17:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2010-03-08 17:25 ..
drwxr-xr-x 1 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2010-03-08 19:12 .ssh
-rw-r--r-- 1 cron_server mkpasswd 57 2010-03-08 18:11 Cygwin.bat
-rw-r--r-- 1 cron_server mkpasswd 7022 2010-03-08 18:11 Cygwin.ico
drwxr-xr-x 1 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2010-03-08 18:06 bin
d--x--x--x 6 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2006-12-01 05:30 cygdrive
drwxr-xr-x 1 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2010-03-08 18:08 dev
drwxr-xr-x 1 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2010-03-08 17:26 etc
drwxr-xr-x 1 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2010-03-08 18:06 home
drwxr-xr-x 1 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2010-03-08 18:06 lib
dr-xr-xr-x 10 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2006-12-01 05:30 proc
drwxr-xr-x 1 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2010-03-08 18:06 tmp
drwxr-xr-x 1 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2010-03-08 18:06 usr
drwxr-xr-x 1 cron_server mkpasswd 0 2010-03-08 17:25 var
These are assigned recursively to all the files/folders on the system. Before it was:
Administrator:None
Please help me to get my machine into original state.
I know this is a long post but this is the only way I could explain things.
