To log on to the Administrator account using Windows XP Home Edition, first make sure that your system is not set up to bypass the logon screen. (Bypassing the Logon Screen) Then press F8 while booting and choose Safe Mode from the menu that appears.
If you have “Bypassing the Logon Screen” turned on here's how to turn it off:
1. At a command prompt, type, “control userpasswords2” and press “Enter”. Doing so launches the Windows 2000-style User Accounts application.
2. On the “Users tab”, check the “Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer” check box and then click OK.
After you’ve logged on as Administrator and finished whatever you wanted to do, you can uncheck the box in step 2 above to turn “Bypassing the Logon Screen” option.
I don’t know why this is necessary only that it is the suggested procedure for Windows XP Home users who want to logon to their Administrator account.
