recovery console in xp home edition?
« on: January 09, 2002, 11:10:32 PM »
Is the recovery console supposed to work in xp home edition? It won\'t accept my admin password at the recovery console (incorrect admin pass, but it\'s not), nor in safe mode, or going to desktop with the 2000 style login (account restriction). Can only login as Administrator in safe mode at the welcome screen. Is this normal behavior?

This article talks about using the console in home edition: Cannot Log On to Recovery Console After Running Sysprep in Windows XP (Q308402).

This article shows how to install it under xp pro. It worked in home edition too, except that it won\'t accept the password: HOW TO: Install and Use the Recovery Console for Windows XP (Q307654)

Thanks for your help.
