What's the default login for the Windows XP IE6 VPC image supplied by Micosoft?

I downloaded the Microsoft-supplied Virtual PC image for Windows XP / Internet Explorer 6 testing from http://modern.ie and tried to login using the documented credentials of IEUser / Passw0rd! (referenced in the MS supplied release notes)

This does not work. What are the correct default login credentials?

1Note that the documented credentials IEUser / Passw0rd! do work on many of the Virtual PC images. – Jason – 2017-01-03T09:13:14.757

The credentials listed in the MS release notes will not work.

Instead, use Administrator / Passw0rd! to login (notice Passw0rd! is the default password, as specified in the VMs' wallpapers).

It may warn you that IEUser is already logged in if this is the first time runnning the image.

11In the version distributed now, at least in the Windows 10 + Edge version, the user is IEUser and the password is (still) Passw0rd! – kaosmos – 2017-04-15T12:54:34.630

The password on my copy of Windows XP VM was Password1

Another option is to click on "Disable Integration Features" in Virtual PC -> Tools menu. This should allow you to log on on the machine without typing the password (since no password is set for IEUser)
