I have created a Slipstream XP/SP2 Bootable CD ROM to repair a
corrupted computer. When I boot from the CD and specify I want to do
a repair, the system asks me for an Administrator Password. I do not
know it nor does anyone else in the organization. I removed a
Password Jumper as suggested in the Dell Manual which is supposed to
erase any passwords. That does not work.

Does anyone know how to get around this password requirement?

Thanks.

download this guide:

when you get to page 4, at the boot:
type ntpass and press enter.
accept all the defaults and follow the instructions to reset your
password.
