right - it's frustrating and crazy - but
you won't get in or get an helpful answer
oh - yes
ms has an answer - and you might get someting if

note - in re
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 308402
'The Password Is Not Valid' Error Message Appears When
You Log On to Recovery Console in Windows XP
and
thus - like hutch - and many others before and since
you will find you can do
1/
'repair install' - ie
How Do I Do a "Repair Installation"?
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_install.htm
2/
'clean install' - ie
Windows XP Clean Install (Interactive Setup)
Windows XP Installation and Upgrade, Part Six
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.as
p
note
either way make sure you are backed up
