I have heard of the "administrator password" for a super-administrator.

But I have never "set" the "administrator password" or "super admin
password".

I do, however, have a user account with admin privileges that I set a
password to.

Is that the same thing? Does my creating a user account with admin
privileges and password make the password for the super-admin the same,
or
will the vista admin password still remain blank?

I'm wondering if this is the case, if a hacker tried to break into my
system
to grab files, if I never set the administrator/super-admin password,
does
that mean there is none, and they just walk right in,

or does it default to the password I have on my user account with admin
privileges?

Thank you again for your help!

Hello,

It is not the same thing. Unless you specifically set the root
Administrator password (which you said you have not) then there is no
password set. Therefore, a local hacker could just boot into Safe Mode
and access your files.
