Re: Recovery console, administrator

Assuming you have Admin Privileges: Click on Control Panel | Administrative
Tools | Local Security Policy | Local Policies | Security Options. Scroll down
the list and find the two items dealing with the Recovery Console. One is "Allow
administrative logon" and the other is "Allow floppy copy and access to all
files and folders". Enable both of these policies.

You can now access the RC without the Admin password prompt.

Hope this helps,
