   All of are pc at Medion have the same problem when
trying to enter the recovery console for XP home. The
administrator password doesn't seem to be the same as the
admin account on the XP OS. Even when we are using a
blank admin password, and we are suppose to push enter at
the recovery console admin password it doesn't work. We
can however get to the installation repair fine. It just
the actual recovery console we are having a great deal of
trouble gain access. Windows 2000 never had this problem,
it seem to be an XP related. If anyone has any sort of
fix for this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
