I set up myself as Computer Administrator with Password.

but when I go to Repair Window XP installation using Recovery Console,
Windows ask me the Administrator password, I tried my password, it's not
working.

I asked HP, HP told me by default, HP does not have an Admin password. I
tried so many different combination of password, still not working.

Please help

Have you tried just hitting 'enter' when prompted for the password? If the
password is blank, it still counts as a password.

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