Recovery console help

Hi guys
could someone please help
I tried fixing a recent problem, Windows\system32\config\system error when booting up.
I tried a fix i found on the MS community forum help site but it has not worked correctly.
The fix said to boot with the XP cd in and open the recovery console, which i did. I then had to rename the system file and copy the file from the recovery folder, reboot and everything would be peachy.
When i reboot i get a brief error , something about incorrect password in ISSYS.EXE (i think thats correct, it appears only very briefly)
When i try and go back into recovery console and try a different approach i am asked for a administrator password, even though i never had one set up originally.
Is there a generic password i could use to overcome this?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated
 
It would either be your password or try just hitting enter mine didnt even need a password

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
