Recovery Console

[Scott]

I just installed Recovery Console. When I run it, it
gets to the point where it asks for an Administrator
Password. I am the only person using this PC. There is
only one account on this PC and I am the Administrator
and I DON'T use a password. The Recovery Console
directions say if the password is blank that I should hit
ENTER to continue, but it won't continue. It asks 3
times for the password, and says its an invalid password
each time and then reboots. I finally tried creating an
Administrator Password and it still won't accept it or
continue on to Recovery Console. Can anybody help me?
Please email me at (e-mail address removed) if possible.
