Starting up in wrong account

[Guest CreeperKamikaze]

After I partitioned my hard drive, Windows XP activated the default

administrator account and now instead of logging into the administrator

account I initially created when I first installed XP, it's been booting up

into the default administrator account.

 

How do I fix it so I can remove the default admin account and have XP boot

up into the one I created again?

Open Control Panel, User Accounts. Click "Change the way users log on or

off". Click "Use the Welcome screen". The Administrator account doesn't

show there, so you should be able to select the account you want to log

in to.

 

Then to have it log into that account each time:

Click, Start, Run, type control userpasswords2 and click OK

Check the box that requires users to enter a password.

Click on your own account name.

Uncheck the box that requires the users to enter a password.

Click OK.

Enter your current password when prompted.
