Log off. Depending on how your system is configured, you can do
one of the following:

1. If the Logon to Windows dialog box is displayed, simply
enter Administrator in the User Name box along with the correct
password.

2. If the Welcome screen is displayed, hit Ctrl + Alt + Del
twice. This should bring up the Logon dialog box.

Take a look at these articles if you want the Administrator
account displayed on the Welcome Screen.

Keep in mind that the built-in Administrator account should be
reserved for emergency use. Using is as your regular account
isn't a good idea.

Good luck
