Time Machine restore

[bosebose]

As usual, my P4 PC broke the perfect working machine after took the 10.5.2 update. Luckily I had Time Machine backup so I though it wasn't a big deal to restored to 10.5.1. I was wrong…

There are 3 ways to restore the data from Time Machine and I tried all.

 

1. After boot up using install DVD, choose Time Machine restore from the utility menu.: It will not boot up after successful restoration.

2. After fresh install, use Migration Assistant right after choosing your location.: After reboot, it asks for login password and none of usual password works.

3. After complete fresh install, login to OSX (only OS installed) and use Migration Assistant from utility.: It will not transfer user data as it sees to have same user name. If you continue migrate without user data, none of your application will work and your important documents will not transfer.

 

Does anyone having this problem? Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Does OSX have some kind of built in administrator account like Windows? If it does, maybe I can login using administrator account and reset my password after 2nd option.
