I have Windows XP Home edition and the users are not
displaying on the Welcome Page. I have hit crtl-alt-del
twice to access the administrator account, but cannot login.
The username on the adminstrator account defaults to my last
name but I don't know the password (bought the laptop at a
Best Buy 3 yrs ago). I have tried my last name, first name,
Windows, and such as the password but cannot get in. Any
help I seek want to charge me $50. I am turning to you
experts for any help.
You need to boot into Safe Mode to access the built-in
Administrator account in Windows XP Home Edition. Reboot your
laptop and start hitting the F8 key. Keep hitting the F8 key
until you see the Windows Advanced Options menu. Select Safe
Mode by using the up arrow key on your keyboard.
