Can't logon as Administrator

[JimS]

I made the mistake of creating a new user in XP Pro and
now I'd like to logon as Administrator but I can't do it.
There is no Administrator option on the friendly logon
interface. I finally figured out how to cntl-alt-delete
twice to get to the Win2000 type screen but when I entered
Administrator and my password I get a logon error message.

Can anyone help?

It might help if you put the message online .

You possibly forgot the password. In that case, logon with an account having
administrator rights. Then use lusrmgr.msc to change the password for the
administrator. Beware that encrypted files might, read: will, become
unaccessible.

Get TweakUI latest version from microsoft. there is an option in there to
show Administrator on welcome screen.

The password for the reserve account named 'Administrator' is not your
password, but the one setup for that account when Windows was installed.
If you do not remember doing so, it is probably blank - try leaving the
password pane alone and just OK
