Hey ....

When I installed XP Pro back along .... I don't remember it asking for an
admin password.

Now I need to boot into the recovery console ... and it's asking for the
admin password - what is it?!?!? if you didn't enter one?

Cheers

Go to http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ . There you will find
zip files that will let you create boot floppy disks or bootable CDs
that will enable you to reset any system password on an NT class
operating system (XP is an NT class operating system).
 
If you did not enter one upon installation, then by default it is a blank.
Do not activate that field when you attempt to enter the Recovery Console.
By that, I mean DO NOT activate your Cursor or anything else in the Password
box.
