Administrator Account Restrictions

[Guest]

I have created an account with admin access. How do I set the Administrator
account to be visible during logon and be able to log into that account.
Currently I have disabled the multi user login capability so that I can enter
Administrator in the login name and I type the password but I get an error
message that I am unable to login Administrator because of account
restrictions.

What do I do to be able to see the administrator login while using mutli
login and how do I get to use the Administrator account in anything other
than Safe mode?

Is it possible in Win XP Home to log into the Administrator account in normal
usage after you have created a user with admin privileges?

You're running XP Home. You can only log onto the built in Adminstrator account in Safe Mode. See Help and Support for more information on Safe Mode.

Only in Safe Mode.
