In order to operate the RC on the setup disk, does one have to enter the
password for the user named "Administrator" or is it suppoed to be a
password for *any* username associated with administrative privileges?

Working on a WinXPH SP1 system that has no user named "Administrator".
However, there is a user with administrtive privileges named "Owner". The RC
is asking for the administrator password and is not accepting the password
normally used for Owner.
 
Every Windows XP computer has an Administartor account. try leaveing the
password blank.
