Administrator

[Me]

When I added a user, I lost the Administrator on the welcome/login screen,
how do I get it back, or get access to that Userid?

Greetings --

Once any additional user accounts have been created, the
Administrator account will no longer be displayed on the Welcome
Screen. This is a default security feature that may, or may not, be
needed in your specific situation. By design, the only way to log
into the Administrator account of WinXP Home is to reboot into Safe
Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome
Screen will produce the standard login dialog box.

Hi,

Once you've created user accounts, the admin logon will no longer =
display on the Welcome screen. This is normal. To access it, simply hit =
ctrl+alt+delete twice to get the old Win2k style logon screen. This =
behavior is by design.
