Administrators password

I have installed vista beta 5384. When the istallation ask me a username and
password, i have typed: username="Administrators" and no password. This value
was accepted. When i try to start i have an error message "this account has
been disabled". I have not any password or any other account. I can't start.
Any solution?

Try booting through default administrator from Safe Mode and try to enable
the Administrators account created while setup.

Please let me know if this procedure has helped you or not.

Don't use "administrator" how username.

So you provided user "administrator" at install stage? and now try to log in
with it? Seems that there is now bug due you should not be able to "create"
administrator account. Normally you need to create normal account and after
install you would need to go to command prompt to enable the administrator
account. You can get your computer open if its part of domain and
administrator from there could "manage" the install. Long story short,
reinstall and file a bug.
