Password is wrong ?

Installed Vista beta 2, logged on with my password, downloaded Creative
Audigy Vista beta drivers and restarted. Entered password and was told wrong
password or incorrect user. This is all within 20 minutes time. I didn't
forget the password, but how can this happen? What can I do ? I don't have
any reset disc that it asks for only the 2 dvd's from microsoft.

Re: Password is wrong ?

If you're talking about the administrator password, the password by default
is blank - nothing there. Make sure you're logging in on the right domain as
well... if the worst comes to the worst, reset your password in the Computer
Manager > Local Users and Groups.

Re: Password is wrong ?

Thanks Zack, but I got it . Seems Vista on my puter doesn't start with
numlock on like xp did, so the password I thought I entered was right, just
no numbers. Hehe, just a little embarrasing.
