My admin account isn't showing up

[ghettoprep]

I created a new user account that I could use for myself,
and so there are 2 admin accounts, and the account I
created wouldn't show up on the log in screen, and
neither will the main admin account, after I logged off
from that one. So how do I log in w/ the account?

Well, if the account isn't showing up on the welcome
screen, you can hit Ctrl+Alt+Del twice at the Welcome,
and it'll give you a Windows 2000-style logon scren.

As for why the account isn't showing up, I know of at
least 2 reasons why some account don't appear:
1) the account is disabled, either becuase the admin
disabled it or becuase you have a lockout policy
2) the default admin account does not appear if you have
another account with administrative priviledges. There's
a utility floating around the Internet somewhere that
makes it appear.

Of course, I'm only familiar with XP Pro; I assume it
also applies to XP Home.
