I had this same problem, your ID doesn't have a password.  
I found the solution by going to 
http://www.delorie.com/archives/ and doing a search for 
"user administrator".  On like the second page there was 
an entry entitled "RE why am I administrator" or something 
like that.  It had instructions on how to fix it.
