Welcome page not displaying users

[Guest]

I have Windows XP Home edition and the users are not displaying on the
Welcome Page. I have hit crtl-alt-del twice to access the administrator
account, but cannot login. The username on the adminstrator account defaults
to my last name but I don't know the password (bought the laptop at a Best
Buy 3 yrs ago). I have tried my last name, first name, Windows, and such as
the password but cannot get in. Any help I seek want to charge me $50. I am
turning to you experts for any help.

You need to boot into Safe Mode to access the built-in
Administrator account in Windows XP Home Edition. Reboot your
laptop and start hitting the F8 key. Keep hitting the F8 key
until you see the Windows Advanced Options menu. Select Safe
Mode by using the up arrow key on your keyboard.

Good luck
