The problem is that there are two ways to use the windows user 
'Administrator' on a Unix machine, you can map 'Administrator' to the 
Unix user 'root' via a line in smb.conf and a mapping file, this is the 
easiest way.
You can also give the 'Administrator' user a uidNumber, this turns it 
into a normal Unix user and further setup is required to allow this user 
to work as the root user, something that in essence gives you two 'root' 
users and is probably not a good idea.

I will think how to edit the page, I do not think giving a uidNumber to 
'Administrator' is a good idea and probably the wiki shouldn't show it.
