Administrator

[Larry]

Where do I find my "Administrator", how do I "Log on" and
do I create a "User name" and "Password"?
This must sound very basic to most of you, but I have
never attempted this procedure.
If you can offer me directions or where to find
directions, I would appreciate it.
Thank you, Larry

For XP Pro: At the Welcome Screen with no users logged on, press
CTRL-ALT-DEL twice. Enter Administrator and any password that you may have
assigned to this account during setup (if you assigned one).

For XP Home: Boot the computer into Safe Mode (see Help and Support).
You'll see the Administrator account on the Welcome Screen.

For XP Pro only, you can enable the Administrator account on the Welcome
Screen. To enable the Administrator account on the new Windows XP logon
screen, visit my web site, www.dougknox.com, Win XP Fixes, Enable
Administrator Account ......

Once any additional user accounts have been created, the
Administrator account will no longer be displayed on the Welcome
Screen. This is a default security feature. By design, the only way
to log into the Administrator account of WinXP Home is to reboot into
Safe Mode.

I think that when I am in my user account ( with Administrator Privilege ) I
can go to Start/Log Off/ and my Administrator Account is available.
