German,

In Windows XP Home, you can login as Administrator [built-in] only in =
Safe Mode. To show the Administrator login in Welcome Screen [XP =
Professional], try this:

Start the Registry Editor [Regedit.exe]
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ =
CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList \=20
Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD =
Value=20
Name the new value Administrator=20
Double-click this new value, and enter 1 as it's Value data=20
Close the registry editor

Alternately, use TweakUI and accomplish this:
TweakUI v2.00 for Windows XP/XP MCE [564 KB].
