with curiousity , i had created three new users in xp but
as i restarted the machine in xp it is not showing the
administrator user.

But instead, it is showing only the three users which i
created with that administrator login(stand alone pc).

now iam not able to change the attribte of any user as
they are not administrator account.

so please help me in getting the administrator account
along/without other user account

Hi,

To get the administrator login screen at the welcome
screen press CTRL-ALT-dEL twice and u will get the logon
screen. Administrator's accounts are never displayed on
the welcome screen.

u can change the way windows starts up to get hte login
screen everytime.

regards
M. Rajesh

M. Rajesh has already answered how to get to the administrator account.
If you haven't used this account too much, you may want to leave it as a
reserve account for troubleshooting. Create a new account for yourself
that is in the Administrator group.

If you have used the account quite a bit already, consider creating a
spare admin account now. If using the welcome screen, account names will
list alphabetically. May want to name it something that will put it way
down at the bottom of the list so it isn't in the way.
