Administrator Account - Advise Please
I am running XP Pro
During the intallation I did not set an Administrator password. When I right click on the command prompt icon and select "Run as" and choose the Administrator option leaving the password blank..... it report can't log on. Question How can I log to the administrator account when the password is blank?

Thanks for the reply
Since posting.... I worked out I could cancel the welcome screen.....which gives the older logon screen where I can logon as Administrator with blank password I'll take your advice and set a password though.
