1. You need at least one additional user with admin privileges and you
should create another user with a lower status for your daily work.
2. The Administrator account is available from the Safe Mode (only).
See "A Description of the Safe Boot Mode Options in Windows XP"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315222).
