I also forgot to ask about your second portion: "If you can boot to
the Windows you can also enable Auto-Logon for the
Recovery Console with Group Policy, it's in the Local Security Policy.
For XP Home Edition edit the registry:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312149";
I am using Windows XP Pro and I can still boot to windows ... I need
to enter a string of grub commands to get into Windows, but I can
still get there. If I enable the policy in XP Pro (assuming it's the
same as for XP Home), how does that work? I'll just boot straight to
the recovery console? Thanks again, Rich

The password to enter is the one for the local administrator account;
the built-in administrator account, not your administrator account.
Perhaps it's just blank, try leaving the field blank and just press enter.

Hello. I hope someone can help... I have a broken Linux install dual
booting system and I want to restore my normal windows XP boot
process. I inserted my Win XP disc and booted from the CD. I want to
"R"epair my windows installation on "1. C:\Windows" and the system
asks me for my Administrator password. Here's my problem. I enter my
Administrator password, but, it's not accepted ... it says it's
wrong. I even aborted the process and logged in as the
"Administrator" to verify that I know the password. Note, I never
renamed the Administrator account ... it's still "Administrator"
So I tried the recovery again and still no good ... says I am using
the wrong password. Then, I logged in as the Administrator again and
changed my password to be empty/null. Even this is rejected during
the repair process.
Has anyone ever seen this before? How can I recover without
formatting my hard drive? UGGGGH! Thanks kindly, Rich (please don't
