Wrong as i said,
the account you create when installing windows that has administrative access is not the main admin account on the PC.
so if u install xp n creat ehte username phillip. it will have admin access yes and will be an administrator.
but it won't be the main administrative account.
By default XP hides that administrator account. (theres always a administrator account on XP, its reserved and hidden)
only way to get that account is :
1. use safe mode
2. use gpedit.msc and allow it to log on when not using safe mode.
even if u do a ctrl + alt + del and enter administrator with the blank password. it won't work
