mkpasswd (264): [5] Access is denied.

[Lee D. Rothstein]

Have you tried?: Explorer / Right click dir or drive / Properties / 
Security / <edit_appropriate_user_appropriately> /...? I've just spent 
two weeks fighting through similar problems with Vista that I never had 
with XP. I'm not sure whether the problem was Vista or the config the 
vendor put on the system disk!?
