If I remember correctly. The password that is required is the
"Administrator" account password originally used when you installed the
operating system. If it is anything like Windows 2000 Server and Active
Directory, this password does not change even if you change the
"Administrator" account password after the install. If your particular
account has administrator priviledges, that is not enough. The password is
for "the" Administrator.
