Vista Beta 2 - Unable to Login

I just got done installing Vista Beta 2 here. I set up my name, and chose my
background, but now it's asking me to log in, showing only the Administrator
Account. I don't know what the password could be, and when I choose "Switch
User" I only get "Other User" and I can't get in with my name I typed. It's
crazy.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I could NOT log in as administrator unless I was in Safe Mode. Then, as
you said, there was no password required.

Why in the world would a password not be required for Admin login?? It
seems to fly in the face of everything we know about security.

How does one set up User Accounts to allow Admin login in normal mode?
I couldn't even get to an Admin login by utilizing the "Switch User"
functionality.
