Invalid Password Booting from XP CD

:mad: My PC would not boot so I went to Boot from my CD to get into repair mode. The process asks for Administrator Password which for the moment there was no password.

I simply pressed ENTER and got "invalid password"

After trying several options somehow I was able to to an earlier sucessful date. I went into change password then tried to get into the above from the CD and still get an invalid password.

I know I have some corruped files and want to try to repair.

Issues are very slow in booting up and shutting down and sometimes will not shut down at all.

What can I do?

reinstall windows xp
uninstall then reinstall
how to find the password XP wants
