Hi:

I have a corrupted config.sys

When i try to access recovery console it says my XP admin pswd is invalid.

Would rather not reinstall XP.

Any ideas?

Thanks
 
XP doesn't even use the "config.sys" file - it is there for backwards
compatibility for older software. Just boot normally and fix, delete and
recreate with notepad.
