I have Home XP SP2 and I am trying to run recvovery console from my cd but
keep getting an invalid administrator password message. I have the password
written down and have tried several times. I read that with Home XP there was
an issue but it was supposed to have been fixed with SP1. Can anyone help ?

Try booting to xp cd,at info screen press r,for password,press the enter key.
