Thanks for the reply.
I can boot Normal, or Safe but whether there is a password for the administrator
account set or not, the recovery console won't accept it not will it accept NIL input
(in the case of no password set).
I've since found that I may not be able to use Recovery Console anyway because when
I attempted to load it to my HD (rather than run it from the CD) it just told me
that the version of Windows I had was newer and therefore could not continue. I just
have XP + SP2 with NO updates added since install.
