Thanks for trying to help me out.
Ive got 3 machines running Windows XP Home Edition. The
problem is, I want to logon as the administrator. No big
deal, double hit ctrl + alt + delete, type in
administrator, boom. Well, I bought my machines from the
store, so the account has been disactivated, again, no
problem, go into the admin tools, click users, click
administrator, click " allow access" or whatever it is.
Nope, Home edition doesnt come with this feature, Pro
does, but home doesnt. I cant put pro on their becasue I'm
not going to go buy 3 licenses for $200 or whatever it is.


Anybody know the loophole to fix this?
 
Not sure what responses you have had previously. In Home edition the
"administrator" account is only available in "Safe Mode".
Perhaps you have found this out already.

You can create any account with administrator privileges.

All the best
