User Accounts on XP
I have two separate accounts on my computer (don't remember creating them) and when I boot in safe mode it gives me the choice of either the "Adminstrator" or "House" acccount. The "Administrator" is password protected and I have no Idea what the password is.
Is there anything I can do about this in order to login as a admin. When I boot normally it gives me no choice of accounts and boots automatically. |

Go to Control Panel->User Accounts and I'm gueeing you'll see the House Account. What "type" is it currently set to?

That is normal safe mode behavior in XP - it offers the Administrator account. The only time the Administrator account is password protected is if you assigned it a password on initial install or after the fact, or if it's a name brand preload. If you don't have the Administrator password, we can't help you get around that in these forums, sorry. If it's a name brand preload, contact manufacturer's support.
