Need help for particular search and other stuff....

I am asking to find out that when you try to do an install but use the
option to "Repair this Install" and it asks for the Admin. password, I am
fairly sure that I didn't ever use one on the initial install. So I just hit
the CR without entering any at all. But no go.
What I would like to lknow is if there is anyway to search for that password
and just what exactly would you ask to search for? "password"? Or regedit
from the start button/run/regedit... etc but where in the registry might it
be found? \
Does anyone have this level of knowledge to give me this info? I am having
various problems with this install and it seems to be getting worse. I am
trying to install my wireless router's software again after an RMA on the
router, but I get an error and it will not even allow me to install the
software. The Windows Magagment Instrumentation (WMI) {look in Local Area
Connection Properties, under the Advanced Tab, and it should show the
Firewall settings I beleive. But mine has a message that reads:
Windows cannot display the properties of this connection. The Windows
Managament Instrumentation (WMI)information might be corrupted. To correct
this, use System Restore and restore Windows to an earlier time. Says a bit
more but it is inmaterial to this post. Before I was having a problem
installing a new USB Wireless NetworkAdapter.
What my other question is, is it possible to install OVER the OS that is
currently on the HD if a FULL Program for XP Pro is used and not just an
Upgrade CD? What needs to be done to guarantee to be able to do this IF you
can that is. I have wayyyyyyyyyy to much stuff to do a complete install from
scratch and lose all of that if I can avoid it. No know viruses, spyware
etc. have been found in any scans done.
Thanks for any help. One last thing if if possible or necessary and
available, this email address can be used to send any files or documentation
to it to allow clear instructions and info if need be.
Thanks for any help that comes in...
Email is : <<69flh10xx at campus dot ie>>

You should not try and repair using the recovery console, it only works on
Domain Controllers.
Use the ASR, this is very early in the boot process. You can also boot from
the cd and follow the instructions to do a complete install and after the
License agreement you get an option to do a repair from cd.
