How do you log into vista as the built in Administrator?

I tried booting into safemode but i do not remember seeing Administrator as one of the username options

I hate this damn GUI crap that M$ forces on you. I say this assuming there is no way to get the classic logon screen where usrs type their names in the logon box (without being a member of a domain)

from what I remember the admin account is disabled by default. So you would have to go in and enable it, then you should be able to log in as admin.

Depending on how the system was inswtalled. By default if it was setup with created user account the built in admin account is disabled by defualt. If you know of any local account that is an admin account you log in like pcname/username then password.
