Recover Encrypted Laptop - SGN 5.50.1.17

Hello,

I have encrypted my laptop's hdd partitions with SGN 5.50.1.17. Everything went fine until yesterday when one of my friends entered wrong passwords several times to access my XP account. The computer was at windows login screen because of the password protected screen saver. After every wrong password entered by my friend Sophos extended the time period that has to pass until the next prompt to enter the password. At some point my friend reset the laptop from the power button.

After I powered on the system the POA screen appears but it doesn't matter if I enter the correct password because the OK button is deactivated(grayed). Also the following message appears: "Workstation locked ......." The only solution to access the laptop is using the Challenge/Response method but the server and the keyfile is on the same laptop.

Is there any method to access my laptop without the keyfile and server but only the correct password ?

Thank you very much.

Andrei
