Default local administrator account password = ?

I had a local administrator account password and I was logging on with it in
XP SP2 and when I upgraded to Vista B2 it didn't seem to "remember" it says
that that account is disabled! I have tried "password" and (no password) and
they do not seem to work. I wanted to do a FRESH install, but I have had
trouble with the DVD's being read or starting up. It is a bootable DVD, but
it is not being seen for some reason on multiple systems. Anything special I
should do or try?
I can try to load Vista again, but it is a pain.

Click Start > right click Computer > Manager > expand Local Users and Groups

> select users, right click Administrator > click set password, apply a
password, then try logging into the account again.
