Would that be the Administrator account?

What version of XP is this? Pro?

By default, once a second account has been created, the Administrator
account will not appear on the Welcome page.

This is to help you avoid the bad practice of using the Administrator
account for user purposes.

The easiest way to control this and a number of other settings is via the MS
PowerToy, TweakUI.

Google "XP TweakUI" and the first link takes you to its download.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

Install it, run it, go to the Logon settings.

Note that tweakUI does not itself store system settings, it is just a handy
way to get to them.

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)
