Want to log in to the Admin account but it does not show
up on the users page...
Click to expand...

Press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice quickly and then enter the account and password
directly.
(This only works on Professional)

On Home you need to start in Safe Mode (Press F8 at boot)

For XP Pro, 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 .......

This small VB Script will make the registry change necessary for the Administrator account to be available on the Welcome Screen.

This will not work for XP Home. You must still boot into Safe Mode.

I run XP prof and tried this to get to my Admin account but it doesn't seem
to work. I'm also trying to get into the BIOS to change the boot sequesnce
to check the CDROM first then to the floppy then to the system drive.

Can you help me on this?
Thanks
