Windows 10: Boughta windows 10 laptop used. Cant login. Error- 0xc0000225.

I have purchased a used laptop and the person who has been the prior owner doesn't know his password. I found also that the partition that has the "reset to factory settings, out of the box" has a problem, (error-(0xc0000225)).What is the workable solution for me?

Hi Marie,

The error code 0xc0000225 is booting error that usually happens when the Booting Configuration Data (BCD) is missing or corrupted. We suggest that you perform an
Automatic Repair by following the steps listed in Jenith_James's reply on May

We look forward to your response.

0xc0000225 boot error

For some odd reason when I turned on my computer today, I was greeted with the error 0xc0000225 stating that my NLS files were corrupt/missing. I am Running Vista x64 and so far have tried the following:

Replace NLS files
Windows repair utility
Restored an old working registry backup
Tried booting with different ram configurations
Created new BCD / Boot
Chkdsk


Google suggests something about apci, but my gigabyte ud3p doesn't have such an option (already vista compatible) and it seems to only occur to people who are initially installing and not people who already have a working copy.
