My Windowsa XP Professional crashed and I am trying to do a restore rather than a new install.

When I boot I boot the th XP CD and when I tell it to restore the version I want the CD says " Enter the Administrators Password:" and this is from the CD. No matter what I enter it refuses to restore.

When I called microsoft tech support they told me I could get it for a fee of $ 59.00

Does anyone know what the CD pasword is ?

The password that was on the system itself was just the enter key which won't work either

Welcome to PCHF - please can you post your full make and model number for that PC.

When it asks you just press enter. It worked for me...
