If you have Windows XP Professional, from the Welcome screen, hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE twice, and you will be allowed to type in a User ID and Password. Simply type in administrator for the ID, and whatever the password is, and you're in! If you are using Windows XP Home Edition, the process is different. The only way you can log in with the administrator account is by booting into safe mode. To do this, restart the computer. As the computer starts booting up, hit F8 to bring up the boot menu. From the boot menu, choose Safe Mode. The Welcome screen will come up, and the Administrator account will be listed.
