No you aren't. Your user account is part of the administrators' group - the
built in Administrator account is an entirely different thing.

You are a user with administrative authority. You are not "The Administrator".
Windows XP Home Edition has a hidden logon for "The Administrator" for safety and repair functions.
Do not attempt to remove this account.
You can logon as "The Administrator" only if you go to the "Safe Mode".

That's likely because you added a service pack and didn't create a CD
for this purpose.
