Cant get past POA , missing recovery key

Hi there,

This isn't life or death as I'm testing SafeGuard standalone on a spare XP laptop.  I've got the SG policy editor 5.50.

I've deployed the default policys on an XP laptop and the local drive encrypted no problem.  I rebooted but neglected to note the local user account name of which I logged on with.

Now I can't get past the POA screen.  On the first bootup since installing the policy MSI I was prompted to pick a POA password and media passphrase which I have noted.

I don't have the recovery key for this XP laptop.

Is there anything I can do to get logged on again?  The Challenge/Response process doesn't seem possible with the recovery key.  I have also tried booting off the Recovery PE CD but that also involves using a virtual client and recovey key.

Any help appreciated
