Question about Windows XP Pro/Home

[Anonymous]

Does anybody know how to access the default adminstrative account on XP with
that mickey mouse multiuser logon enabled?

I recently had a fellow Arch student lock herself out of her machine and
took hours to get it back, with both her and I wailing away at it with every
little bit of Window lore we knew.

Regards,

Try ctrl-del-alt TWICE to see original logon screen, whereby you type user
name-- administrator and the p/w, then logon. MS KB Article-- Original
Administrator Account Does Not Appear During Friendly Logon Method...

Hmm... weird MS says the "friendly" logon! Personally, that logon was one of the
first XP things I junked and reverted back to the typical ctrl-alt-del logon
screen!!

Ciao!

Thanks Terry.

Cheers,

(P.S. Personally I removed the "friendly" logon on my machine as well. It
was the second thing I did. The first was service nuking.)
