[Xavier]

Microsoft produced hotfix Q308402 to prevent the Recovery
Console from failing to recognize the administrator's
password.

Does anybody know whether Q308402 hotfix has been included
in Windows XP Service Pack 2?

Thanks,

Hi

As this update was included in SP1, it is included in SP2
as well...

Thanks, but I read that before and it doesn't make sense
to me.

I have Service Pack 1 and yet I can not sign on to the
Recovery Console because it rejects my own
(administrator's) password.

I have tried many combinations, blanks and nulls included,
but they get rejected. It seems that hotfix Q308402
requires that it be applied INDIVIDUALLY to an installed
Recovery Console for it to work. Which means that (even
though I have Service Pack 1)I would have to get the
hotfix individually from MS.

Any thoughts?
