That password is used to derive an MD5 digest "System Key" which is used to protect the password encryption key. This password cannot be used for any other purpose, especially user login. You cannot "break into" the system using that password, nor can any account, service, application, or lock utility, use it to gain, or restrict, any kind of access to the system. So, it's not really the "Windows Startup Password".
