Password

[ezdan]

I have been trying to access the repair console in XP home. I get to the
point where it asks for my password, I had never set a password I tried to
leave it blank and it came up as invaled password so I tried to get in by
typing my user password and it will not accept it.All I can get is invaled
password for anything.Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance..
