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. For WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome
Screen will produce the standard login dialog box.

Note, Rick and Bruce's advice only works for XP Pro. For XP Home, you must
boot into Safe Mode to access the built in Administrator account.

you may arbitrarily log in as any user.

Thanks for all the info guys. I was doing the ctrl-alt-del twice then trying to log in as admin in XP Home. It said something about an account restriction so I figured I had forgotten my password. I just hope I remember how to log in to safe mode. Don't you just hold down the F5 or F8 key when booting?
Thanks
