so you boot from the winxp CD to do a repair on your installation of winXP, and in the command prompt, it asks you for a password?

Ya, it will ask you for a password during recovery, but if you have never set one just hit enter. Leave it blank. I had one instance when that didn't work, and that was on my server box. The recovery password was my server password. HTH
