Vista - First Time sign in problem

I just installed Vista after partitioning the hard drive... It started up
normally, and asked me to select a user name, password, and computer name. So
far so good.

But when I tried to sign into Vista, I was shown the user name
"administrator" and a password prompt. I entered in my password, but it
didn't work.

I then clicked on "switch user" and saw only "administrator" and "other
user". The name I created wasn't there. I clicked "other user" and typed in
my user name and password manually. I was given a "wrong user name and/or
password" message. I tried re-booting the computer, every combination I could
think of, etc. Is there a default password to "administrator" or something
like that? Otherwise, how do I sign on?

Hello there,


I would suggest that you just go to the Administrator login and press enter.
It seems by default on the Vista Beta that the Administrator has no
password. once you are in that profile you can just create your own profile.

Hope it helps,
