administrators

[Lou]

When I set up xp I set up one account myself as
administrator turned off guest account and deleted ASP.net
account whatever that was and now I am wondering if there
is another hidden administrator account I need to set up a
password for. Thanks for any insight you can give me to
look for any other accounts.

Hi Lou,

There is a built-in Administrator account (name: administrator) which be
accessible from safe mode for XP Home.

for XP Pro, pres CTRL+ALT+DEL at Welcome screen and type administrator and
login. Change the password.

There is a reserve account with the name "Administrator" which should be
kept in reserve for emergencies. You may have been asked for a password
for it at setup: anyway you can go to Start - Run and run
control userpasswords2

There (provided the 'Users must give username. . .' is checked) you can
select any user, including Administrator, and Reset Password.

And if you change the one for Administrator *Don't* forget it!

If you have Home, you will only be able to logon as Administrator by
booting in Safe Mode - in Pro you can also hit CTL-ALT-DEL twice at
'Welcome' to get the logon dialog and give it there

You're Welcome, Lou.
