I just did a fresh install of XP Home on my friend's little brother's comp and set his user account to "limited" so that he can't install a bunch of spyware crap and ruin it again. then, I needed to install something, so I went back to the login screen and typed "Administrator" as the username, and no pwd. it said the login info was invalid. but I know there is an account on the comp called Administrator by default.

is there any way to be able to install progs now without reformatting?

edit: yeah you guys were right. I remember now I entered some admin pwd when I installed windows.
arrggg is there any way at all to install progs now?!??! I just finished doing an entire backup and reinstall procedure on this super-slow system. now I'm going to have to do it again?!?!!? it'll take like 10 hours
 
Pretty much what NogginBoink said. Besides, Administrator requires a password. Just think back to what you put in when you installed XP.
