Cant get into Recovery Console?

[Scott Townsend]

When I go to the Recovery Console it asks for the Admin Password. I've
entered the Password and it does not like it. I know that is the password
as I just changed it.

Does it matter what XP CD you boot from to the Recovery Console? I have an
IBM Laptop, so I dont have a WinXP SP2 OEM CD. I do have a Open License
WinXP (No SP CD) could it be using a different password retrieval and not
getting the right one?

Thanks,
Scott<-
