Administrator problems

[Ichabod_Clay]

I can't seem to logon as Administrator. I press Crtl + Alt + Delete at the logon screen and i type Administrator as the user, but when I click ok it gives me an error that says it can't logon due to an account restriction.

What's the problem?

admin psw logon

did you input an psw when you setup your xp? is it xp home or prof anyway?

I think you have to be in safe mode to log in under the actual "Administrator" account (never had to try this myself )- otherwise just use your normal account you've set to Admin priveledges when you installed XP.

if your running XP-Home, you can only log in as admin in safe mode

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList \
Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value
Name the new value Administrator
Double-click this new value, and enter 1 as it's Value data
Close the registry editor

Then logoff the current user......

Then from the welcome screen press Ctrl+Alt+Del, release the Del key, and press it again, while still holding down the Ctrl+Alt keys.

There ya go.....
