If you're using Windows XP Professional, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete two times to
display the Log On To Windows dialog box.
Type Administrator in the User Name box, and enter the password you created
for the Administrator account during setup.
Logged on as Administrator, you can run User Accounts and create one or more
new accounts, which will thereafter show up on the Welcome screen.

Windows XP Home Edition users can't log on using the Administrator account,
which is prevented by account restrictions from logging on.
Instead, you must start Windows XP in Safe Mode by pressing F8 at the
beginning of the startup process. After you're up and running in Safe Mode,
you can run User Accounts to create one or more new accounts.
