Sign on as an Administrator???

[ken]

Can some one please tell me how to log onto my XP system
as an administrator.

[Mike Brearley]

I think you just press ctrl + alt + del at the welcome screen. It should
bring up a window to enter the username/password.

Press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the Welcome Screen (XP Pro). For XP Home you
must boot the computer into Safe Mode to access the built in Administrator
account.

If the OP is using Home, then that is correct AFAIK. If the OP is using
Pro, then that is NOT correct. In pro, you can Ctl-Alt-Del twice at the
welcome screen and you can then log in as Administrator.
