Password

I have installed vista beta 5384 x64. 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: Password

Start > Run > compmgmt.msc > Local Users and Groups > double click on
Administrator > untick the "Account is disabled" > Apply, OK > Right click
on Administrator and click "Set password".

All fixed from here on in )

RE: Password

to fix your particular problem i think you will have to reinstall vista and
use a different account when it asks you to create an account, the admin
account is disabled by default and unless you created another account during
setup you won't be able to logon
