By default, the built-in administrator account is disabled in all default clean installations.
You can enable the built-in administrator account during unattended installations, by setting the Username to Administrator. This enables the built-in administrator account, even if a password is not specified in the AdministratorPassword

If no values are set for the administrator password and Username is not set to Administrator, the administrator account is disabled.
