I left my computer to install Vista overnight and was delighted to see that it was finished in the morning.
However, it created a few user accounts that I don't have the password for.
I have Toby the User and Abby the Admin.
I tried the usual suspects -- P@ssw0rd and a few other ones.
Any idea what it could be or how I can install Vista without creating the accounts automatically?
Regards,
Frank

Because the alternative is worse

Is this a legitimate version of Vista? Because I can think of several ways of creating accounts at install, but they'd all require modifiying the install source...
Failing that, have you got a cheeky housemate?

I got it while I was on the Microsoft campus last week. So, as far as I know, it doesn't get any more legit than that.
I did leave the machine to install overnight at the office.
Worse comes to worse, I can get the DVD image from MSDN.

By default, the Windows Vista Setup process creates only one user account, the root Administrator one, with an empty password - try logging into it and configuring Windows Vista as desired.

the admin password turned out to be password
At least I got Vista up and running now.
I feel so cool.

Hehe... i got mine up and running sometime back too, its really good indeed!
