If you did not set a password, there isn't one.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Hint: [enter] (unless you changed it after the setup completed) Isn't this account disabled by default? >I just installed windows vista beta 2 preview and the system is asking for >a > Administrator password.

I believe it can not be disabled in "Safe Mode" (otherwise how would you fix a farkled install? I re-read the OP's question and I am guessing this is UAC asking for permission to do it's thing. We need another word than (administrator) for the FULL Admin privileged. Unix has "Superuser" but even that has name usage problems. (I got called into the "office" after someone overheard me using "Superuser privileges". What I did was superused as ME from a coworkers terminal to give them temporary rights to MY directory) Superuser can mean as ROOT or as a specified user. I find it ironic that it has taken Microsoft 20+ years to get to something the earliest versions of Unix had. |
