So I drive home and get my disks. Figure out it's XP by who I got it from...put the disk in and reboot, select R for repair, it asked which OS I wanted to log onto...1 option and I hit that...it goes and asks for the admin password...I tried 3 it could have been that I know of...and it locked me out to a fresh reboot...and this time it boots fine to the OS on the disk. UGH. Very strange. Machine was shut down properly yesterday and has been working fine. Clues to what may cause this?

Anyone know how to find out an admin password like that so if this happens again I can repair this? If there even is a way?
