If for some reason you do need to log in to the system Administrator
account:
For XP PRO;
Use normal mode , at Welcome Screen press Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys together
TWICE.
For XP Home;
Use Safe Mode & at Welcome Screen press keys TWICE.
To enter Safe Mode press F8 key many times during startup until Menu is
displayed
then use Arrow keys to select Safe Mode & press Enter key.
The default Administrator password is blank unless you have set one. (the
Default Administrator Password isn't your Computer/Administrator password)
(If you have Auto logon set , use Log Off to show Log On Screen.)
(If you use Classic Log On box enter Administrator for PRO normal mode &
Home safe mode)
