If you have home you will not be able to access Administrator or use that account at all ... townsbg

When you install XP, either version, you get a built in admin account named "Administrator". This account is partially hidden. It is only accessible in
XP Home Edition through a
safe mode boot. In
XP Pro it is hidden by default from the Welcome Screen.
The retail version of XP will hide the Administrator account as soon as you create another account. (When you create another user, the main admin user disappears from the welcome screen.)
To access the main administrator account,
log off all users and hit
Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice on the welcome screen. This will give you a Windows 2000 style login box where you can select the main admin user.
NOTE: Many OEM installs come with an initial "Owner" account, which is an ADMIN account.
If you create several accounts during setup and never logon to Administrator, you won't see the Administrator profile.
