This is going to become my new pet-peeve isn't it? :-)
The Administrator account is disabled by default in new installs of
Vista (upgrades can be different), so this method most likely won't work!!
For those that require evidence, from
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsvistasecurity/archive/2006/08/27/windowsvistasecurity_.aspx
"The built-in administrator account is disabled by default in Windows
Vista on new installations."
Or Google for "vista administrator disabled" and look at any of the
hundreds of relevant hits.
