Hi Kell,

If you are referring to the hidden account called "Administrator" it
can be accessed by rebooting the system and taping the F8 key as the
system BIOS info passes by.
At the next menu select Safe Mode.
This should have taken you to the Welcome screen with "Administrator"
present.
If not press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice, and logon enter "Administrator".
If there was never a password created just click on "Administrator"

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 or rebooting into Safe Mode will produce the
standard login dialog box.
