Repair Windows XP

Hi,

Can you please teach me how to repair my windows xp? After I slotted in my
Windows XP disc and chosen 'R' to 'Repair' a command prompt appeared with
this,
C:\Windows
Which Windows installation would you like to log onto? I didnt know what to
key in and so I started to type anything and to my surprise I could only key
in ONE letter or numeral. Having tried every letter with an 'Invalid' command
I tried 1[ONE] and it asked me to key in a PASSWORD. I dont use any password
for my PC and so I tried anything that came to my mind. After three [3]
attempts I was not allowed to proceed.

Please tell me what to key in when prompted

C:\Windows
Which Windows installation would you like to log onto?

Also please what to key in for the password.

Thank you.
