Lsass.exe file renamed. Need access to command prompt.
After receiving error messages that were shutting down the system that referenced C:\Windows\System32\Lsass.exe, I thought this might be a virus so I renamed it to Lsass.exe2
Now I can't boot into any type of configuration. It just goes to a blank screen and sits there no matter what I choose. Safe Mode, etc.
All I need to do is gain access to a command prompt that will allow me to rename this file back to what it was, but I can't seem to get a command prompt. The system does not have a floopy drive. Just a cd and zip disk.
Any advice?

Start your computer by using the Windows Setup floppy disks or the Windows CD-ROM. At the "Welcome to Setup" screen, press F10 or press R to repair, and start the Windows Recovery Console.
When you use the Windows Recovery Console, you can obtain limited access to NTFS, FAT, and FAT32 volumes without starting the Windows graphical user interface. In the Windows Recovery Console, you can:
- Use, copy, rename, or replace operating system files and folders.
- Enable or disable service or device startup when you next start your computer.
- Repair the file system boot sector or the Master Boot Record (MBR).
- Create and format partitions on drives.
Note: Only an administrator can obtain access to the Windows Recovery Console so that unauthorized users cannot use any NTFS volume.
REN and RENAME
Use the ren and rename commands to rename a file.
Note: You cannot specify a new drive or path for the renamed file. These commands work only in the system folders of the current Windows installation, in removable media, in the root folder of any hard disk partition, or in the local installation sources.
