What is the password for the default SBS 2008 Administrator account?

When you install SBS 2008, the default Domain Administrator account called Administrator is actually disabled.  People ask what is the password for this account.  Quite simple really – when you installed SBS 2008, it forces you to create a Network Administrator account and give that account a password.  It takes that password and stamps it on THE Administrator account as well as the Directory Services Restore mode password.  Therefore make sure you document this password and keep it in a safe place as there is no easy way to retrieve it if you loose it or forget it.
