ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Can you login to the Administrator user? Use that password for the re-install. That should work even if it is a blank password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Ah, or is it during the installation that it asks for a password for the to-be Administrator user? Then use a not-too-easy password that you can remember.I recommend not to use 'Administrator' or a blank-password; there are viruses out there that spread by trying to login to the Administrator user using a blank-password. Naturally a good firewall will protect you against that, but even the best firewalls are sometimes down (e.g. for an upgrade or other maintenance).
