Hi Lee,
You may boot into Safe Mode and log on using the account "Administrator".
The password for this account was set when you installed Windows XP on your
computer.
To boot into Safe Mode, please refer to the following steps:
========
1. Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On
a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems,
you can press the F8 key when you see the Boot Menu.
2. When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, select an option, and
then press ENTER.
3. When the Boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in
blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and
then press ENTER.
For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge
Base article:

Password

If you have any concerns, please feel free to let me know.
Merry Christmas!

| When setting up a password for Administrator on Win XP,
| the password was set with 13 characters. This password
| was accepted and confirmed. However, when trying to logon
| to the PC the password is not accepted. Any idea why this
| would happen and is there a way to get around it
