Win XP prompts for an admin password in recovery console?

[SQLBI]

Hi,

In an attempt to repair my Win XP Home install, i've booted from the CD ROM and entered the recovery console.

Windows then prompts for an administrator password, which i have not got set up. if i leave the field blank it gives me a C:\Windows\ prompt, but i've no idea what to do from here.

Thanks in advance.

The prompt means that you have entered the Recovery Console succesfully.

Here is all the options you have with it:
