Can't Access Enabled Administrator Account

Guest

Hello, I'm running Vista Beta 2 Build 5472 and I have enabled the built-in
Administrator account in Computer Management. When I boot to safe mode and
select the Administrator account, however, I get the error message "The user
name or password is incorrect". This Administrator account shouldn't have a
password, so why am I getting this error and how can I get around it?

My steps are exactly as follows: 1) I boot to safe mode, 2) I get the logon
screen with Administrator and Other User options, 3) I select Administrator
and see the enlarged user picture and the password field, 4) I leave the
password blank and select the blue --> enter arrow, 5) The Welcome loading
icon shows for a second or two and then the error message appears.

Any help is much appreciated :)

I've already tried this link prior to posting this message. I followed the
directions to the letter but the article doesn't describe what to do if you
get a "password invalid" error.
