ok, first of all, i'm on someone else's comp, so there wont be confusion.

i just installed windows xp pro on my hdd.
and the cd key didnt let me activate windows.
and i wanted to activate it so i downloaded some windows xp activation program from torrent.
and it told me to boot in safe mode and run the program and i did.
so restarted in normal mode, and it just stays in a black screen with the cursor.
so i wanted to run windows recovery from the xp pro cd.
but when i try to do it, i need administrator password, i didnt even make one.

what should i do? other than install windows again cus that would pain in the butt

did you try a blank password ... no password at all ???

Is the copy of XP a burnt copy or an OEM ... IN otherwords is it the original microsoft cd or is it one on a cd-r ?

could be that the copy of xp you have has sp2 and the xp activator is for xp sp1. You can always call microsoft , the activate by telephone, no worst they can do is say no. I would definately call if it is an original xp cd. Just make sure , when they say has this xp been installed on any other PCs , say no... no matter what your answer is no, they will give you a setting code to enter.

Its most likley this "activator" for windows xp most of those are worms or trojans, all you need is a product code and I cant tell you how to get one because of the forum rules but you can get one.
