Intel DQ35JOE Windows XP Pro setup requires form the very beginning (still on the blue screen) to set "Administrator password ... which may not be blank"
I have installed XP hundreds of times but I see this dialog a first time.
Is there something new (old in fact as XP isn't new anymore) on the mobo which triggers this new password request?
