    Unable to login to windows vista after upgrade

    I have upgraded from win xp pro to win vista rc1. I onlz used Administrator
    account in the windows xp so i dont have any other accounts active. After
    upgrade when i try to login to my administrator account(i dont use
    password) it says that account has been disabled. Is there any way that i can
    access my files. I have backups made but I am really dissapointed in the way
    vista locked up my files.

    And for the record...I cannot login to it from safe mode either. If i click
    on Administrator icon it gives me the disabled message, and if I enter
    Administrator in the other user option it gives me the same thing.

    Vista raped me too. Not only did it disable the Administrator account, which
    I was actively using, and had a password; but it will not let me login using
    the other account on the system as it had a blank password.

    I have found that if you boot with the CD to repair mode you can access a
    DOS prompt and run regedit. I founfd some other references to a reg edit
    that will enable the administrator account, but have had no success thus far.

    Not happy!
