| | Can't Access Enabled Administrator Account in Safe Mode Hello! I am running Vista Beta 2 Build 5472 and have enabled the Administrator account in Computer Management. When I boot up to safe mode and try to access it, however, I get the error message "The user name or password is incorrect". This Administrator account is installed by default with no password, so why is this happening and how can I get around it? My steps are exactly as follows: 0) I enable the Administrator account, 1) I boot to safe mode, 2) I see the "Administrator" and "Other User" icons on the logon screen, 3) I select "Administrator" and see an enlarged user image and the password field, 4) I leave the password field blank and select the blue --> enter arrow, 5) The Welcome loading image displays for about a second or two and then the error message appears. Any help would be much appreciated! |
