Administrator Account Password in XP Home In XP Home Edition the admin account is only accessible from SafeMode. This account password is by default BLANK....yeah thats correct there is no password. Gee...PATHETIC. To ensure a more secure system. 1. Turn off your computer. 2.Power on and hit F8 just after the BIOS check is complete. Select Safe Mode from the List. Its around the top of the list. 3.On the next page press ENTER. 4.Work you way to the Desktop. Goto Control panel...by: *Clicking on Start\settings\ControlPanel 5.Double Click on Users Accounts 6.Select the Administrators Account from the list. 7.Apply a password. Then restart the system. Doing this is not always advised since sometimes the administrator account is encrypted so changing the password makes all of your system internals unavailible. If it does, just reset the password to blank to fix it. Then, go get XP Professional ;-)
