In XP Home, boot the computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly
tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to
the right menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not
work here. Once in Safe Mode, you will see the normally hidden
Administrator account. The default password is a blank.

In XP Pro, you do not need to go into Safe Mode. At the Welcome Screen,
do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in
"Administrator" and whatever password you assigned when you set up
Windows.

If you reset the built-in Administrator account's password in Home or
have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the
built-in Administrator account's password to a blank. Then go to the
User Accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you will
remember and make other desired changes.

Go to the Downloads page of my website: www.stopmalware.tk and download
Bootsafe.exe. Once downloaded, run it and reboot into safe mode minimal.
When you're computer reboots you will have the ability to log into a hidden
administrator account (The log administator account on your welcome screen).
I believe the deafult password is blank.

"control userpasswords2" to modify the desired account(s). 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 will produce the standard login dialog box.

Sorry! I went to your site and find that you ARE, in fact, linking to the
manufacturers web pages. Way-to-go buddy.

Ignore my previous post.
