Since you are running XP Home, you have to boot into Safe Mode to get access to the Administrator account.

Tap F8 as the computer starts up to get the Safe Mode option.

but unfortunately you cant access gpedit.msc as it isnt an option on xp home.
I was trying to spped up my net conne4ction through gp edit and after a lot of searching on the net i found out why i couldnt do it.
you have to have xp pro!

Try connecting 2 modems to your pc!
