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.
