Hello,

The Administrator user account is reset (and not deactivated) during the sysprep phase, to generalize the image.

As cloudbase-init is installed in your image, you can set in C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\conf\cloudbase-init.conf:
[DEFAULT]
username=Administrator

In this case, the Administrator account will have its password updated if you use the image on OpenStack, and you can retrieve the password using nova get-password instanceid pathtoprivatekey. More info here: https://cloudbase-init.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins.html#creating-user-main

Thank you,
Adrian Vladu
