Mike P......

I have an XP Pro installation that was upgraded from an
HP ME bundled sytem. One of my resulting accounts is an
Administrative account called "HP Authorized Custom" and
XP's "built-in" account "Administrator." In "User
Accounts" when I change the logon mode from the default
Welcome screen mode to the standard mode "HP Authorized
Custom" appears in the user field and cannot be changed.
I can logon only to that account.

Two questions:
1. How do I fix the standard logon mode to allow any user
to logon?
2. Is it possible to logon to the built-in Admin account?
(how?)

Thanks for your help!

I can answer your second question. You have to start the
computer in safe mode and logon using the password you
chose during installation. I'm not sure about fixing the
logon to allow any user the only thing you could do is
setup a seperate account with the name standard and using
TweakUI it is possible to auto logon so that the only way
to get to the other user account is to logoff.

Hopefully this helps, let me know if you need anymore
assistance
