I am trying to access my Windows XP Administrator account.....but for the life of me I cannot seem to find it?

Answer 1

A much simpler way is to open the control panel and click on user accounts. You will see the icon for Administrator account in the first window. If it is not available by which I mean unclickable because it is grayed out then simply click on Change an account and go from there. On my computer, I click on the start button. From there I go to settings and then to Control Panel but you may have your computer set up differently. If so then click on Search in the Start menu and look for Control Panel in files and folders. Make sure you look in all the hard drive. Good Luck.
I wanted to ask if you are the only one who uses the computer in your house. Is it a family computer or one of several in a family home. If you want to download a program, then ask whoever is in charge in your home to give you administrator rights temporarily so that you can do that.

step 4: u can click the account: named admin to enter..
step 5: then after everything, repeat step 1&2
step 6: uncheck the /safeboot box, and at the general tab, click back the originally selected box..

Answer 3

If you can chose user accounts at the user accounts login screen, hit "CTRL + ALT + DEL" twice at that screen it will bring up the old type of windows login and you can type the admin pass there to access it.

Answer 4

restart the computer. When you see the BIOS screen continue to press F8 a bunch of times. Then when you see mode start up selection choose safe mode. Admin should be there w/ no pass.

Or on the welcome screen press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to get you to classic login screen. Just type in administrator.
