Comment on XP Recovery Console – Administrator Password by Tim Valentine

Hello June,

In regard to your first problem – not being able to see the Recovery Console: These instructions only let you edit the XP registry so that when you get into the Recovery Console you will not be asked for an administrator password, so that you can continue on with recovery.

If you have never edited the XP registry, try the link just above your comment for a visual demo. It is slow and the audio is choppy, but it should help. Read over everything again very slowly and follow the instructions the the letter and the next time you enter XP’s Recovery Console you will NOT be asked for a password. I don’t know much about OEM recovery disks as I use retail versions of XP, but it should not make much difference as it sounds like you have already entered RC via your disk.

Hope this helps, Tim…

I would like to thank you for providing information about the XP Recovery Console not taking the administrator’s password. I followed your instructions however I do not see the Recovery Console.

In your instructions, you show WindowsNT and I have XP. Any suggestions? I would appreciate any help you can provide since I am probably going to have to reinstall the OS and can not thanks to Dell. I never setup a password so could not figure out why the default password of blank (hitting the enter key) was not being recognized.

I discovered information on Microsoft’s site about how it is possible to enter a correct password, including the default “blank” and have it come back as invalid.

If the manufacturer used a certain program to install XP, this program caused changes in the key configuration in Recovery Console that would cause a correct password not to be recognized.

Thanks again.
