Cant login after cloning - administrator account disabled

$

This is on ESXi 5.0 U3

 

I cloned a Win2K8R2 VM that was a domain member, but using the wizard, I selected the clone be a workgroup member with the intent of joining it to the domain later.  In any event, as part of the customization, I was asked for a password for the administrator account.  Imagine my surprise that once the cloning was completed, I could not login because the administrator account is disabled!  I have no way to access this new VM!

 

What is the correct way to clone a VM and enable the administrator account during that process?

 

Thanks!
