Hey John,

You can set up a password for the built-in Administrator account to safeguard but it is not essential and there is no default. Once the account is enabled, restart and click the Administrator option at the login window. You shouldn’t need a password.

I am assuming that one will be prompted to enter it when trying to use the account. Or does the prompt request you to create one?
