Can you boot regularly or boot to Safe Mode/ If so, go into User Accounts in Control Panel and assign a password to the Administrator account. Logoff and logon to Administrator with the new password, make sure it works (for XP Home you need to boot to Safe Mode to do this). If okay then try the Recovery Console again.

You can remove the password when done (and try the RC again just to see if it will now work without a password).
