The built-in Administrator account is hidden from Welcome Screen when a user account with Administrator privileges exists and enabled.
In Windows XP Home Edition, you can login as built-in Administrator in Safe Mode only.
For XP Professional, press CTRL + ALT + DEL twice at the Welcome Screen and input your Administrator password (sometimes there will not be any password) in the classic logon window that appears.
To have the Administrator account displayed in the Welcome Screen, try following method:
Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList
(Use the File - Export option to backup the key - for safety :-))
Create a new DWORD Value named Administrator
Double-click Administrator, and set 1 as its data
Exit the Registry Editor.
