The proof of it, I believe, is that even after we have complely
cleared the hard drives (using a variety of methods) there is a
request for an
administrative password when using the recovery console. We tried
using a blank, and that doesn't do it.
There is always a request for password when using the Recovery Console.
It wants the password that was set up for the Administrator account
when you installed. Depending on whether you have OEM machines or not,
there was a bug where the correct password was not accepted in the
Recovery Console. Here is information about that:
Fix For Correct Password Not Accepted Bug.
1. Install Recovery Console.
To do so, open a command box in Win XP:
(select Start | Run, then type cmd); then, at the command prompt,
type D:\i386\winnt32.exe/cmdcons (replace D: with the letter for your CD
drive).
The installation will proceed, after which you can choose the Recovery
Console from the Windows boot screen.
(The Bug)
There is a bug in WinXP that prevents you from using Recovery Console
even though the right password is typed when prompted.
2. Enable Administrator to Log On Automatically in Recovery Console
3. Reboot into WinXP.
4. Select Start | Run, then type regedit Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole Change the SecurityLevel DWORD
value data to 1.
5. Reboot the PC.

Based on posts you've made in these groups in the past and the active
posts you have going now, you probably should take the advice of one of
those computer consultants and have them set things up for you instead
of doing it yourself.
