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. I logged in under Safe Mode, but it doesn't keep any of the changes I make to user accounts. Any ideas? Thanks! |

Have you just tried a blank password for the admin account? also try the
password that you setup for your account, it sounds liek the install did not finish loading your account information. "T.J." wrote: > I just got done installing Vista Beta 2 here.

If you're using a domain, it has to be DOMAIN\Username - exactly like that.
The administrator password is blank - just type in "administrator" and hit the Go button )-- Zack Whittaker » ZackNET Enterprises: www.zacknet.co.uk » MSBlog on ResDev: www.msblog.org » Vista Knowledge Base: www.vistabase.co.uk » This mailing is provided "as is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
