Boot to Safe Mode, log on to the built-in Administrator account (no
password needed), open the User Accounts control panel and promote your
account to Computer Administrator.

Note: Do not ever use the built-in Administrator as a user account.

After formatting HD and installing all new software (XP, etc) When logging

downloading more software from java.com, microsoft.com to install McAfee
virus protection suite asap.
