Win XP Pro Repair - requires password

Hi, I am trying to 'repair' my XP Pro with the original software CD. However,
after it asks me to choose the OS to repair, it asks for an Administrator
Password. I have no idea what it is, tried to use the one on my log-in, but
to no avail. It reboots after 3 incorrect passwords. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Geoff

It may be set to a blank password, where you simply click on OK. Did you try
that?
