At login screen limited access icons are displayed. The administrator is missing. Unable to login as administrator.
 
Greetings --

As you've learned, 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.

You see, the built-in Administrator account really isn't intended
to be used for day-to-day normal use. The standard security practice
is to set a strong password on it and use it only to create another
account for regular use, reserving the Administrator account as a
"back door" in case something corrupts your regular account(s).

Restart your pc and start to press F8. Start in safe mod
and either type in administator or log in with the first
account (admin). You will be able to change another
account to an admin or anything else needed.

Hope that helps.
