access to recovery console

[avhennessy]

I can't get into Recovery console. It asks for a
password. There aren't any. I've tried creating passwords
fpr users with administrator priveledges and tried to get
in with them, but no go.

scroll down to: Recovery Console Password
On many XP installations you can't start the Recovery Console because it won't
recognize your password.
