"administrator" is the equivalent of "root" for Windoze so is likely a reserved name.

Are you trying to create an "administrator" account on Linux then use it on Windows? If so the above is likely your problem.

Administrator accounts are almost always local and not part of the domain. If a local account exists, you probably need to log into that instead.
