What is the administrator password that comes standard on T4

#1 Post by nikemen » Wed Oct 06, 2004 3:55 pm

Okay, I THINK I posted this yesterda, but it seems to have disappeared. I have a new T41, and when setting it up, I don't think it asked me for an admin password. Now, I am trying to get access to it again and cannot. Is there a stock password for it.

This is NOT a hack. If you want to PM me, please do. Please don't simply kill the post if that is what is happening.

I have purchase documents if you like .

There is NO generic password - it just ain't there.

Windows should have asked you for a password during setup, and used that for the Admin account. If you think you might have just hit enter, try a blank password. Otherwise, try to think what might have been in your head at the moment.

As a last resort you could recover the factory pre-install with F11. Unless you also accidentally set a password on that, in which case it would suck to be you. :cry:

Good luck,

Ed Gibbs

On any T I have purchased and set up, there is no stock password, and if you do not enter one, it remains blank. Try logging in as Administrator with no password. If that fails, contact your vendor for assistance or do a recovery (F11). ... JDHurst

I'll try blank and see.
I was tired when setting this one up.
