Solve : Recovery console / Administrator password?

Answer»

I'm attempting to repair Windows XP by booting from the CD and accessing the recovery CONSOLE. However, when I'm PROMPTED to enter the Administrator Password, it says it's incorrect. I REBOOTED normally and removed the password alltogether but then when I tried booting from the CD again, it still asked for a password and didn't work. Thoughts?Press enter without a password.Tried pressing Enter, no good.If you still have access to Windows...

GO Start>Run
Type in:
regedit
Click OK.
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole
Set the DWORD SecurityLevel value to 1
Restart computer.Thanks Broni, that bypassed the password prompt alltogether.You're welcome
