Logon to built-in administrator account (Win Vista)

Any idea how one logs in to the administrator account in Win Vista (Beta 2)?

I created a password for the built-in administrator account during the Win
Vista installation. Afterwards I created a user account and gave it admin
privilege and began using that account. Subsequently, however, I wanted to
logon as the built in administrator account (i.e., with the username
"administrator"). Try as a might, however, I can't seem to find a login
screen that allows me to enter the username of "administrator".

Any ideas?

Thanx
