Hi,
I've got a question about logging on as the administrator. I am using XP
home SP2. When I am logged on as owner I log off and hit ctl-alt-delete twice
to go to the old style log-on box, I type in "administrator" with no password
as there is no admin password set, I hit ok and get the following message
"Unable to log you in because of an account restriction." My questions are:
what account restriction and how do I get around this? I am the only user on
this computer and I own it. Who or what put the restriction on and why? Thanks
