Hi, folks.
I had to restore my system today because of McAfee (McEvil) and replaced it
with Symantec. Now symantec says I have a weak administrator password, but I
can't access the administrator account. I don't remember setting up a
password specifically for the administrator while reloading everything. What
did I do wrong?

What did you do wrong? Well, most techs (like me) would say you
installed a Norton consumer product. Contact Symantec tech support for
help with their software. Here are some links that may help:

Since you say that you didn't specify a password, have you tried leaving it
blank?
