After you installed your first copy of Windows Vista, how long did it take you to realize that you didn\u2019t know the administrator\u2019s password? With me it was about a week before I needed to make some changes in the file system. It suddenly occurred to me that being logged in as administrator might make the User Account Control dialog box go away, but I didn\u2019t know the administrator\u2019s password! What the heck is the Vista administrator\u2019s default password?<\/p>\n
Unlike the previous releases of Windows, Windows Vista does not automatically create an Administrator account during installation. The theory is that the typical Windows user does not need to run with administrator privileges. Using a non-administrator account will prevent a Windows user from accidentally deleting operating system folder, files, and registry information, and prevent any Malware infecting the computer from doing the same. However, if you really need to run as an Administrator, you can easily activate the built-in Administrator account yourself.<\/p>\n

This procedure activates a user account named\u00a0Administrator<\/em>\u00a0and assigns it Full Control security privileges. The user name \u201cAdministrator\u201d is reserved, so you cannot create a user account with this name even if you haven\u2019t activated the built-in Administrator account. Depending on the local password policy of the computer, you might be required to enter a password of a minimum length or complexity, and not be allowed to use a blank password.<\/p>\n After you installed your first copy of Windows Vista, how long did it take you to realize that you didn\u2019t know the administrator\u2019s password?
