Hi Query,
Regarding your question, can you please share the boot screen picture or the error message coming during boot process. Therefore we can provide you proper solution to help you sort out this.
Hi Query King,
You are lucky, windows keeps the copy of Registry file at "C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack" location. Please follow below steps to use these files.
1. Boot your server with bootable media (DVD, pendrive etc).
2. Start the Command prompt.
3. Rename below files with extension .bak (just for safety). Location- "C:\Windows\System32\config\".
List of Files.
DEFAULT
SAM
SECURITY
SOFTWARE
SYSTEM
4. Copy all files from "C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack" to "C:\Windows\System32\config\".
5. Reboot the server and check.

Hope it will fix your issue.
