What do you do when you're trying to do a Repair Install on a drive that
won't boot any more and you can't remember the Admin password? :-(
 
Thanks, Harry. I pressed 'R' in the first screen instead of the second -
which I assume tried to initiate the Repair Console.

When are you being asked for an Admin password? You might have to enter
a password to get to the Desktop or to run the Recovery Console but you
do not need to enter and Admin password to start a Repair Install. Look
