Recovery console administrator password?

I tried running the XP Home recovery console, but it prompts me for an
'Administrator password'. I looked it up on google and most of what I read
told me that it's blank on default, so I just have to press ENTER. I did
that but it told me that my password was wrong. Then I tried the
administrator user account passwords on my computer, ther are 4 and I tried 2
of those passwords (one of them is blank, and I don't know the 4th one) none
of them worked! As I outlined in my other post 'XP wont start! Help!', I
can't get into windows at all, so I can't go into control panel and change
the 'Administrator password' whatever it is. Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

when moved from,1-2 to 2-3 erases all passwords.Chk youre board mfg web

This has nothing to do with Recovery Console or any thing related to any
passwords. This will reset the BIOS password only.
