I'm trying to run Windows XP Repair on my hard drive. The
problem I'm having is it wants an administrator password.
I'm the computer admin and the computer was not password
protected. I even created a password and tried that. It
didn't work either.
I'd appreciate any help.
 
Corkey;
If you are attempting a Repair Installation, you are pressing R at the
wrong time.

Repair Installation:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_install.htm
Windows Updates will need to be reinstalled.
Data should be safe, back-up important data just in case.
Install Service Pack first and by itself.
Then install ALL Critical Updates no more than 4 at a time,

Disconnect the network/modem cable before starting repair and do NOT
reconnect the cable until repair is completed and firewall is
installed/enabled.
