Ah.

Known bug.

The code specifically checks for the name 'Administrator' as your
username. It doesn't cope with non-English names for Administrator.

It is (I believe) easy enough to edit the source code to use your local
spelling and then recompile it.

If you've not got a compiler for it, I suspect that someone out here in
Samba-land would probably do it for you.
