    Administrators password

    I have installed vista beta 5384. When the istallation ask me a username and
    password, i have typed: username="Administrators" and no password. This value
    was accepted. When i try to start i have an error message "this account has
    been disabled". I have not any password or any other account. I can't start.
    Any solution?

    RE: Administrators password

    So you provided user "administrator" at install stage? and now try to log in
    with it? Seems that there is now bug due you should not be able to "create"
    administrator account. Normally you need to create normal account and after
    install you would need to go to command prompt to enable the administrator
    account. You can get your computer open if its part of domain and
    administrator from there could "manage" the install. Long story short,
    reinstall and file a bug.
