I am attempting to boot from my XP cd and enter the recovery console. After
I enter the selection for the windows version I want to repair it asks me
for the administrators password. I never set one and now I cannot get into
the recovery console. Anyone got any good ideas?
Thanks

Hi
Try leaving the password blank and pressing Enter.
