Are you holding the F8 key down or repeatedly pressing it? If you hold it down, you'll get a keyboard error...which may be what the rather cryptic messages you're getting mean.
Try just repeatedly pressing and releasing the F8 key while it boots and that should get you to the boot menu.
In XP Pro, pressing ctrl/alt/del twice at the logon screen should bring up the option to logon to the Administrator account.
