I recently built a pc for myself and gave my old one to my kids. From the kids pc (os is xp) I kept my administrator login the same and added 4 additional limited user accounts no problem. I then added passwords for the 4 limited user accounts. Once I did this I was unable to login as administrator. I changed nothing in my admin settings but the message reads I don't have the proper password or domain. Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you trying to Log-on as Admin from your PC?

If so, you can not do that. You need to make an account on the XP box
and give yourself Admin rights.

No, I tried logging on under my name that was already set up with admin rights and never had a problem before until I set up the extra limited user accounts.

Then you may want to log-on with the Admin Account and
check the permissions on your account.
It may be that you inadvertently assigned the same permissions to all accounts.

I am not able to even log on with the admin account. It won't take my password for some reason. Looks like I will have to reformat
