Administrator password for what? Unix? Windows?

Either way, you have posted a non-Perl question in a Perl forum. I am moving this to the Miscellaneous forum until you specify an OS.

In most OSs you can just make the password a blank password. Some *nixes won't let you make a blank password, and some configurations of XP won't either.
