Default Windows Dual Boot Administrator Password?

I installed windows vista onto my computer on the same partition as my xp and
it moved everything to windows.old but, when I try to boot up into the old xp
version, it asks for administrators password... What the hell?
I tried all my password, none worked, I tried leaving it blank, that didn't
help either...


What the f' is up Microsoft?!?

Default Windows Dual Boot Administrator Password?

From what I have seen, I would never put Vista on anything other than a test
computer or virtual machine. Even with a VM, I would make sure that I
copied the base files to a safe place before even allowing Vista to attempt
an upgrade of XP. If you want XP back, save any files you need, wipe the
drive, and reinstall XP.

You did an upgrade, not a separate installation. XP is no longer an
operating system on your computer.

They may be asking the same about you.

Eek, now I am sad... I can not get my old xp back? Vista has many problems
with programs like hackshield and mmorpg game clients. I've tried like 5 so
far and they won't let me play it, like rappelz the mmorpg. I am really sad
now, I don't have my old xp? That sucks, guess I'll just dl it.
