vista beta 2 unable login

I just got done installing Vista Beta 2 here. I set up my name, and chose my background, but now it's asking me to log in, showing only the Administrator Account. I don't know what the password could be, and when I choose "Switch User" I only get "Other User" and I can't get in with my name I typed. It's crazy.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I could NOT log in as administrator unless I was in Safe Mode. Then, as you said, there was no password required.
Why in the world would a password not be required for Admin login?? It seems to fly in the face of everything we know about security.
How does one set up User Accounts to allow Admin login in normal mode? I couldn't even get to an Admin login by utilizing the "Switch User" functionality.

I logged in under Safe Mode, but it doesn't keep any of the changes I make to user accounts.

Have you just tried a blank password for the admin account? also try the password that you setup for your account, it sounds liek the install did not finish loading your account information.

If you're using a domain, it has to be DOMAIN\Username - exactly like that. The administrator password is blank - just type in "administrator" and hit the Go button :o)
