Recovery Console Password?

A

ALF

Problem 1:
My Windows-XP Home system has a virus (Downloader.Stubby.A) infecting one of
the files in
the hidden system folder "System Volume Information". I have an AVG removal
tool to clean this virus, but it cannot access this folder.

Anyone know how to clean this virus?

Problem 2:
I wanted to try to access the infected file using the Windows-XP Recovery
Console... Installed
Console.... It boots up ok, but when I try to use the console, it asks for
"the Administrator password". I am stumped here. (Note: I have a user
Administrator account, but it's password doesn't work.)

Anyone help here?

More Information:
I noticed that, if you try to create an Windows-XP Home account named
"Administrator", the system says that one already exists, yet none is
displayed in the list. Does this mean that there is a factory
"Administrator" account?

It's in system restore. Big deal. If you do nothing it will disappear one day.
