Default How to log in as admin?


On the login window, there are only regular users listed.
If I have admin password and I want to log in as admin, how
to invoke the admin acct?

You have to start up in safe mode, then you can select the administrator
account
Press F8 repeatedly while starting up to get menu to select safe mode

By design, the only way to log into the Administrator account of
WinXP Home is to reboot into Safe Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing
CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome Screen will produce the standard
login dialog box.
