When starting the recovery console, the user is asked to supply the administrator password. Sometimes the user/admin may loose the orginal admin password therefore...

You can disable the prompt for the password, by accessing..

Control Panel
Admin Tools
Local security policy
Local policies
Security options

ENABLE - Automatic logon for recovery console

 
If I need to get into the recovery console, odds are that I can't boot the machine to get into Control Panel, Admin tools, etc... Cheers,
Jim

Sorry, if you misunderstood the thread, this thread is a helpfull tip.

Enable this function for possible future boot problems.
 
Admittedly, it would be nice if ALL my customers read this thread, and did just that, but it's always too late. :D Cheers,
