Windows XP Home repair

[Bart Waterman]

Hello,
I am trying to run the Windows XP Home repair function from the CD. It boots
fine, however, when I get to the part to run a repair, it asks for an
"Administrator Password". I have tried my login password (I have
administrative status) with no success. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Bart,

The password it asks for is that used for the installation of Windows
XP.
If you don't know it try leaving it blank and press enter.

Good luck

Greetings --

The password being requested is that of the built-in Administrator
account, not the password for any other user accounts you may have
created. Unless you've deliberately set the Administrator's password
via the Management Console (_not_ the Control Panel), it's probably
still blank. WinXP Pro asks you to set the Administrator's password
during installation, but WinXP Home doesn't.
