Your error code is covered in the following article:

"You may receive error code 0x80004005 or other error codes when
you try to start a Windows XP-based computer"

Thanks John, This is good info, however I'm not able to get into
recovery console because i don't have the password for the
administrator. Is there a way to recover the passworld, or
another way of getting there without the password.

Usually the password is blank. Try just hitting the carriage return.
If you think you've changed the password, try this site:
