Windows Vista Beta 2 Customer Preview - Admin Password
Maybe I should have stated this question a differnt way. I get to the login
screen for the Administrator, and it asks for the password, however, I never created an admin password. I don't have an option to create a password, its asking for one...

Leave it blank.
A password is not set by default. If you did not set a password, there isn't one. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "andrewe" wrote in message ...

I believe it can not be disabled in "Safe Mode" (otherwise how would you fix a farkled install? I re-read the OP's question and I am guessing this is UAC asking for permission to do it's thing. We need another word than (administrator) for the FULL Admin privileged. Unix has "Superuser" but even that has name usage problems. (I got called into the "office" after someone overheard me using "Superuser privileges". What I did was superused as ME from a coworkers terminal to give them temporary rights to MY directory) Superuser can mean as ROOT or as a specified user. I find it ironic that it has taken Microsoft 20+ years to get to something the earliest versions of Unix had.
