When you
install Windows XP an Administrator Account is created (you are asked to
supply an administrator password), but the "Welcome Screen" does not give
you the option to log on as Administrator unless you boot up in Safe Mode.
First you must ensure that the Administrator Account is enabled:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Open Administrative Tools
3. Open Local Security Policy
4. Expand Local Policies
5. Click on Security Options
6. Ensure that Accounts: Administrator account status is enabled.
Then follow the instructions from the "Win2000 Logon Screen Tweak" ie;
1.Open Control Panel
2. Open User Accounts
3. Click Change the way users log on or log off
4. Un-tick Use the Welcome Screen
5. Click Apply Options
You will now be able to log on to Windows XP as Administrator in Normal
Mode.
Another Method
By default windows XP doesn't show the Administrator
in the user list at the welcome screen. Here's a way to get around it.
Now
head up to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\
Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\Userlist
create a new DWORD entry and name it
as Administrator and change its value
to 1.
exit and reboot for the changes to take effect.
To change it back change its value to 0 or simply delete the key. |
