How to re-access Default Administrator Account?

[Dylan1070]

Once you have created a new Administrator-level account, and the default
'Administator' account has been removed from the Start-up window, how can you
then re-access that original account? Thanks!

Windows XP Professional?
At the 'Welcome' logon screen, press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice to access the
classic logon prompt and put in the name "administrator" for the user, and
whatver password you assigned said account.

You can use TweakUI to easily add it to the Welcome Screen logon...

Is Windows XP Home Edition different from Professional? I was about to
suggest Safe Mode but then saw your post.

Windows XP Home Edition would require one to boot into Safe Mode to access
the "Administrator" account. Thus my guess (more of a logical progression
followed by a question to infer that if it was not Windows XP Professional,
the OP should respond accordingly) of what the original poster was using (or
superset thereof - wouldn't matter) and directed help. ;-)
