| | Administrator account Toshiba, in their infinite wisdom, has "disabled" the Administrator account. It cannot be created. System repair won't work since you can't log in as administrator. Anybody know how to re-eable it? I have Administator rights. I view it as a security issue--MINE!! Thanks, Seth |

| | Re: Administrator account Thanks. I tried that several times without sucess. This time it worked. I don't know if SP RC1 helped or not. I tried the usual--blank password, "admin" and "administrator' as password. Seems they must have put something in. I guess it's on to third world Toshiba tech and try to gleen an answer; unless there is another standard password in Vista.
