Log on as the Administraor
When I first loaded XP Pro, one of the things to do was to set an "Administrator" password. I have several user profiles on the computer and have myself as an admin....but I was wondering how to log on as an administrator using the original password created during the os install?

If I remember right, you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del twice at the log on screen.

You can also log in as administrator by simply booting into safe mode.

Not necessary to do that with XP Pro, kev. That's the only way with Home though. C-A-D twice at the welcome screen brings you to the old style login with Pro.
