You might try a blank one first - if that doesn't do any good then:

i think when you want to access the recovery console ,you need to enter the
local administrator password and you can get it if you make right click on my
computer and choose manage then thoose again local users and comouters then
you can reset the password.

The recovery console needs the pasword for the person who installed XP, not
for just any administrator. If the install was done by a major PC maker,
you may need to contact them for it.

However, the password is sometimes blank. So, try just pressing enter when
you are asked for a password, it may help.

Or, if you can get into XP, even safe mode, you can arrange to bypass the
password by the following registry change:

Instead, just run REGEDIT (Start à Run à Regedit)

Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Setup\Recover
yConsole
Set the DWORD SecurityLevel value to 1

You can also reset the password using something like the Ultimate Boot CD:

Or Knoppix:

Keep in mind that none of these solutions are supported by MS. They are
effective though.

Hope this helps!!
