When I go and try to repair reinstall windows xp it goes
threw the setup and shows where I want to repair the hard
drive c:\windows I hit enter then it ask for the
Administrator Password I never made a password or have
one. Does windows xp have a default password for a reapir
install?
Anyone have an idea
Thanks
 
You get prompted to select the password yourself while installing XP. Try
blank.
 
Jeff;
There is no default password.
Try leaving the password blank.

However if you are trying a Repair Installation, you do not need a
password.
Follow this for a Repair Installation:
Repair Installation:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_install.htm
Windows Updates will need to be reinstalled.
Data should be safe, back-up important data just in case.
Install Service Pack first and by itself.
Then install ALL Critical Updates no more than 4 at a time,

Disconnect the network/modem cable before starting repair and do NOT
reconnect the cable until repair is completed and firewall is
installed/enabled.
