SP-2 does not set a password.
Check Caps Lock.
Try leaving the password blank.

This is a known issue on some computers with the Windows Update
KB885835. As you have discovered, you are able to log in after choosing
"Last Known Good Configuration". Some people have reported that they do
not have to remove the Update; others have said they needed to
uninstall it. Your choice.
