I guess that means "If you call IBM support and you have changed your local administrator password to anything other than blank, then we may not be able to help you out of the bind you have gotten yourself into (data loss)".
IBM had decided that the average user (of their systems) cannot be trusted with even knowing about their systems administrative access, much less the password.

(xp manual install recommends that you put a password on it!) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
