That's really weird.

Anyways, a cool little trick if you're using the XP user select screen.

Hold down Control + Alt, then press the Delete key twice. It brings you to the Win 2K style login screen. Type in Administrator, and the Admin password. I'm assuming he never gave Admin a password, so it should be blank.

Now login and make an account.

I hail you for that tip! I have my computer set to Win2k style all the time, but when fixing other computers I commonly have had to boot into safe mode in order to log into the Admin account. Wow, this is so much easier. Ctrl+Alt Del Del w00t
