[ale] thinkpad recovery

I'm trying to run the rescue and recovery disk for a thinkpad T60.  When 
it finally boots, it prompts for a 'Windows password.'  I've never seen 
a recovery disk that prompts for a password.  Anyway, if I enter the 
password for the pre-populated user id, it fails.  I've tried the 
administrator login/password and it fails.  There's a check box that 
says 'I forgot my windows password,' but when I select it, it returns:

Unable to locate valid key information for any enrolled user.  Bypassing 
logon [ok]

Selecting 'ok' simply returns me to the original login window.

Hints would be greatly accepted...
