Weird Thing about Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition VHD!!

 Ok,

I might be blind, but if you go and download the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition VHD from this site:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=558F3ECE-6509-45E9-8D60-25175848A8B7&displaylang=en

you'll find an excellent VM to work on SQL Server 2005,,,

but the strange thing, YOU CAN'T FIND THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD any where in the pag,,,

and oh, what makes it more fun, when one guy was asking about the password in one of the forums, the moderator told him that "we don't want to repeat stuff again, go to the downloading page and you'll find it"!!.

i don't know but if you go to the downlaod page and found the password by any chance, please print screen it and send it to me :)

 

anyways to solve this issue:

to find the administrator password for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition VHD, go to this site:

http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/651

 

The amazing thing is that, when you open the VM, you can see the README file actually on the desktop containing the username and password !!!!
