Repair windows xp problem

When I go into dos and try to repair, it wants my password. Is that not the same password that I made up for windows?

I'm asking because when I put in my password it says it's wrong.

Don't try a password,press enter then C or what ever your Windows installation is on. You can then try to repair what you have to.

It's asking for the Administrator password, not your account password. If it's XP Home, you never set one so just hit Enter.
