XP home will not let me logg on to the recovery console. After putting in the
disk for SYSTEM SETUP the pressing any key to continue. It ask's what system
do i want to logg on to. I then press one and it asks me for my password
(which i don not know) and i have to restart. I donnot have the Recover
Console already on the system and i need to run Enable RPCSS
Service_Auto_Start. Is there anyway to run the recovery console without the
password?

Usually the Recovery Console password is just a blank. Try just hitting
the Enter key.
