XP login failure

Argh...
I simply restarted and instead of it saying Administrator it says 1. And my Admin's password fails.

Can anyone tell me how to get XP to bring up Administrator? There are no options for any other user.

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice at the welcome screen to get the traditional login dialog box.

Thanks, Stat, as usual you hit it right on the button. Now, what would fix this latest XP exasperation, the repair/reinstall I have been procrastinating on?
