Administrator login question

[Michael Seidner]

A few days ago I started XP in safe mode (just out of curiosity) and the
login screen had two user icons. One was "Administrator" and the other was
my user name (which has administrator rights). My wife's user icon was not
there probably because she doesn't have administrator rights.

I never created a user name called "Administrator" so can I deduce that it
is created by default? Also, should a password be created for it?

Yes and yes.
