You can either just set up ONE user for the system or download PowerToys for XP at:

There's an option within TweakUI to skip the logon.

My father made four user accounts, how do I switch to single user accout and bypass the logon without download anything?

You have to delete all the other accounts except one and take off the password for the one left. That way, XP will automatically login to that account.

So your dad only wants one account too?

You don't have to delete the other accounts, just download tweakUI from MS and have it autologon the account you want to start by default, that way you can keep the other accounts.
