I purchased a new harddrive and cloned the old information. Now the system
will not let me long on without activating. and it won't activate because the
ip setting are wrong. I can get in in safe mode but then I can't correct the
problem.

Can I skip the activation long enough to repair the network configuration? I
seem to be stuck where it can't log in to activate and I can't log in to fix
it so it can log in and activate.
