administrator password

[poncho]

Ive been reimaging some of our servers and for some reason every time i go
thru sysprep finish up reboot the servers and try to log on locally as
administrator... the servers will not take the password . Im part of the
admin group and i use my logon to add the server to the domain.
i dont have the dc administrator password. the administrator say that
they dont have this problem. but every server i image and give it a
password..reboot and can not get in.... i think it changing to the dc admin
password ..and this is why the NA never get the problem...because it may be
changing to the password that he is puting in the first place. Please help
me out on this.....we are running all 2000 servers

If you run SysPrep, and sysprep.inf contains

[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword= blahblah


then your password will be set to blahblah , even if you type something
else under the setup of the newly installed system.
