I have Windows XP Service Pack 2. I have installed the OS and created an administrator account during installation. Therefore, I am able to use that account. However, I am unable to access the account named ‘administrator’ in my computer. How can i find the password of the ‘administrator’ account. Can any one help please?
If you did not set a password during XP installation, it will not have a password. These steps should help you re-gain access to your admin login:
-
Start » Run » Type control userpasswords2
-
Select **Administrator **and click Reset Password to enter a password
-
If part of your problem is auto-login, click the Advanced tab and check: Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete
Default Administrator account in Windows XP has no password, unless you have specified it upon installation.
You can always boot into ‘Safe mode’ (F8 at startup to display menu and select Safe mode) to access that account.
In case you have forgotten your Administrator password, use the steps ‘RiO’ has outlined to reset it. Please note that your existing account must have administrator privileges in order to reset the password.
Thanks RiO and Falcon Eye.. I ll try those steps and let you know the result.. thanks very much..
Thanks guys.. I have reset the password and able to access the administrator account.
Or press ctrl+alt+del twice at the logon screen to access the same.
O_o Didn’t know that
Thanks for the tip 
Or if you actually want to show the Administrator account in the welcome screen, then try this registry hack
**System Key: **[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
SpecialAccounts\UserList]
**Value name: **Administrator
**Data Type: **REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data:(1 = show Administrator)
Dunno what these are? then dont try it 
type
net user *
and then
u can change any passwds
better go for
type compmgmt.msc in ur command prompt
