How to log in to the "Orcas" - January 2007 Community Technology Preview (CTP) Base Image
If you were like me and downloaded the CTP today, all anxious to give it a whirl, you probably found out like I did, that the credentials that the web page state to use DON'T WORK!
The website says: VPC Credentials: Username: Administrator Password: P2ssw0rd (NOTE: Microsoft strongly recommends that immediately after installation you log in and change the administrator password)
What a bunch of crap!
Anyway... yours truly screwed around with it, decided man..that 2 sure looks weird... bet they meant @ and sure enough I was right.
USE THIS:
Username: Administrator
Password: P@ssw0rd
To make matters worse... you have to "activate" this verson of windows also.... despite their warning to "not turn on the network". At any rate...there ya go.
