lsass.exe error on boot up

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help me out.
Upon booting up (XP service pack 2)  i get to the screen before i can log on  and receive a message box stating :
lsass.exe error
The message contained reads:  lsass.exe error when trying to update the password. This return status indicates the value provided as the current password is incorrect.
The computer then reboots and does this in a continous cycle. I now have a new hard disk and have reconnected the old one also, - i can see it but cannot recover items from all folders as i get the message access is denied when i try.
I have also tried using my OEM disk and the repair function and it gets to the bit where it restarts and will continue with set-up, but it restarts then says it will restart set-up, but this never happens. I get the same lsass.exe message afterwards and an immediate restart.... Help please i don't know what else to do and have some info i need to recover from it!!

Thanks and regards,

SO you have to repair your operating system menas reinstall the wixp and select the repair option and before this you goto the f-8 options ( start menu options ) and select the restore to last goodknown configuration or chck it boots in safe mode and check the administrator account.

I think your system is infected with viruses so connect this hdd to other pc as slave and scan throughly and check any virus dected.
