You're in the Recovery Console. The password it wants is the one for the
built-in Administrator account. It is probably a blank.

However, if you are trying to do a Repair Install you are in the wrong
place anyway. You don't want to be in the Recovery Console for that. See
this link for good instructions:

If you have set a password for that account then you will have to provide it
there.
