This "hidden" Administrator account is part of Windows XP and NOT IBM's porblem. Every Windows XP system ships and installs with the Administrator and blank password. This "hidden" account has been known about for some time, just like Windows 2000 Administrator account is the same way. There are ways to disable or change the Administrator name and password or to disable the account completely. -- Chris Norton UAT Student Software Engineering Network Defense _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
