Window XP upgrade failed, need administer password for recovery

Trying to save data that there is not backup copy of
such. I am doing a Recovery Console using the 6 setup
floppies. The problem is that the recovery consule is
asking for a administer password, which I have tried
everything even just hitting the Enter key, but I never
set a password. So what can be done, especially when I
cannot access the hard drive any other way. Bios can
find it, but nothing else will including a second hard
drive. Safe mode will not work as well, and the old
startup disk I have installs RAMdisk on the drive letter
of the affected drive. Have been at this all day long.
Please help.
