Please be aware that it is VERY BAD PRACTICE to use the built-in
Administrator account on a day-to-day basis and as your only account on the
computer. If the account gets corrupted, as it may well do, then your ONLY
way into the machine is by doing a repair install of XP. set up a User
account and give that Admin rights for daily use, leaving the built-in
Administrator account for emergency access only.

Thanks for the post

One of these tools tells me that the Administrator login is Blank therefore
a password is not required. But when I try this, I get a new message that
says "Can't log you on because this acount is Restricted".

Not sure what that means?
