Logging into Administrator

[Marcia]

When I right-click on My Computer --> Manage --> Local
Users and Groups --> Users, I see the "Administrator"
account. It does not appear on my Startup screen, so how
do I log into it (and how do I set a password)?

I do not see the login screen that I am familiar with
from Windows NT and 2000.

For XP Pro, press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the Welcome Screen with no other
users logged on. You'll get the old Win2K style logon. Also To enable the
Administrator account on the new Windows XP logon screen, visit my web site,
www.dougknox.com and go to the Windows XP section. Follow the link for
Enable Administrator Account ......

For XP Home, you must boot the computer into Safe Mode to access the built
in Adminstrator account.
