can't create user account password

[saysles]

After migrating to new windows 7 pc from windows XP using Easy Transfer I am refused the addition of a main user log on p/w. I suspect it may be because I didn't set a password before the transfer. Help!

Did you try going into the user account section of the control panel and try adding a password to the main user account which would be the administrator account?

Thanks.

I will try registry reviver asap and let you know tomorrow.
Yes I went into Control panel to create a password.
First warning was that by creating p/w personal certs may be corrupt/lost. When I clicked to ignore and proceed, the error message was, "Can't set password".
