    Main Administrator account not showing up

    I have recently setup 2 user accounts in Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and have given them admin rights as well. But after that the main account that I was using will not show up even if I try to login in or switch from one user to another, there is only the Guest account that can be seen. When I go into safe mode then it will show up but I am not able to delete the guest account as well. I was wondering if I can set up without any passwords and not having the 2 accounts on the main logon screen. Is there anyway to do this? Thanks.

    There is an article that will let you know on how to configure Windows XP to automate the logon process by storing your password and other pertinent information in the registry database. This feature allows other users to start your computer and to use the account that you establish to automatically log on, just go to this link - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231

    You can also try to create and configure user accounts in Windows Xp by following the below methods:

    1. Click Create a new account in the Pick a task list box.
    2. Type the name that you want to use for the account, and then click Next.
    3. Select the desired account type, and then click Create Account.

    You can also try to copy data from a corrupted user profile to a new profile in Windows XP. The method that is described in the below link may not transfer the Outlook Express e-mail messages and address user data that are associated with the user profile where you are transferring data from, check this link - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;811151
