hello friends

one of the files of My friend's Laptop is corrupted on windows Xp OS, most of the important Softwares are located on the C drive , after booting the windows Xp CD , I was trying to repair through Recovery console at command prompt, it prompted me to enter file no that is windows installation drive 1 , after that it prompted me to enter administrator password which my friend is unable to recollect, and im simply unable to enter win Xp logon screen so unable to change administrator password, how do i repair win Xp os ?

Thanks in advance.
