I am trying to repair my Windows xp by booting from the CD but i am then prompted for the administrator password
How do i find out what that password is?
 
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.

Hi Gary,

Unless you set one, it should be <blank>. If your system came preinstalled,
you may be the victim of sysprep, see:
