No, XP Home has a built in Administrator account that can only be =
accessed via Safe Mode. You're correct in pressing the F8 key, but the = timing is the real issue. You must press the F8 key between the BIOS = POST and XP beginning to load. You can also add a Safe Mode option to the BOOT.INI file This is a = hidden file. You can access it by going to Control Panel, System, = Advanced, Startup and Recovery and clicking the Edit button in System = Startup. A typical BOOT.INI file would look like this: [boot loader] timeout=3D30 default=3Dmulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WIND OWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=3D"Win dows XP Home" = /fastdetect Without another choice, it ignores the 30 second timeout. Adding = another OS choice, even if invalid, will make the 30 second time out = take effect. The simplest way to do this is to copy the: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=3D"Win dows XP Home" = /fastdetect=20 line and change the description to "Windows XP Home - Safe Mode", and = add the /SAFEBOOT switch, so that your BOOT.INI looks like this: [boot loader] timeout=3D30 default=3Dmulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WIND OWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=3D"Win dows XP Home" = /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=3D"Win dows XP Home - Safe = Mode" /fastdetect /safeboot:minimal When the OS choices screen displays, you can simply Safe Mode option to = boot to Safe Mode.
