Password

[Richie]

When I try to repair the windows instalaton windows asks
for a password.
I never put a pass word in to windows.
I tried a blank space and no entry. They did not work.
Help

If you are using the CD to re-install, do not use the
first question about re-installing. Instead answer as if
you are going to install a fresh installation. Then,
when it prompts you for what you want to do, answer that
you want to re-install.

Repair install:
Boot from the XP cd, and when prompted hit enter to begin setup. Press F8 to
accept the license agreement. It will then search and find your existing XP
install. Select it, and choose R for repair. Back up any important data
files in case something goes wrong, if you can.
