Where is user Administrator?

[General Mailbox]

During the install, I didn't place a password for administrator. Could that
be the reason that administrator is not a choice at log-on?

The administrator login is only visible in Safe Mode (default behaviour).
To login as administrator, press CTRL+ALT+DEL at the Welcome screen. (for XP
Pro). For XP Home, boot into safe mode in order to login as Administrator.

Also To enable the Administrator account on the new Windows XP logon screen,
visit my web site, www.dougknox.com and go to the Windows XP section.
Follow the link for Enable Administrator Account ......

This small VB Script will make the registry change necessary for the
Administrator account to be available on the Welcome Screen. If you prefer
to do it manually, click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserLis t\

Note: There is a space between Windows and NT in the above Key.

Add the Administrator account if necessary and/or change the Administrator
value to 1

FOR XP HOME: You must still boot to Safe Mode to access the built in
Administrator account.
