Windows XP Home Edition does not have the ability to
join a domain, nor does it have the Group Policy feature
found in Windows XP Professional. I would suggest
trying to perform a "Repair Install".

Try the following first:
Original Administrator Account Does Not Appear During Friendly Logon Method
