Sounds to me like account Administrator exists on one of the servers
but has been renamed on the other.
You also could have an issue where you know the password for the
Administrator account on one but not on the other.
If all of the above do not apply, then on the one where you cannot
access it is possible that the Administrator account has been disabled
for network access, leaving it useful only for local console login.
