Can you startup in safe mode? If so...
The recovery console needs the pasword for the person who installed
XP, not for just any administrator. If the install was done by a
major PC maker, you may need to contact them for it.
However, the password is sometimes blank. So, try just pressing
enter when you are asked for a password, it may help.
Or, if you can get into XP, even safe mode, you can arrange to
bypass the password by the following registry change:
Instead, just run REGEDIT (Start à Run à Regedit)
Navigate to
yConsole
Set the DWORD SecurityLevel value to 1

That's an interesting registry hack - I wasn't aware of it!
I had to do a repair install twice, and no password was asked for.
