Default "Administrator" account not visible

My XP Pro on my home computer has an administrator account, but it is no
longer visible in the manage user accounts dialog. How do I regain access
to this account?

Thanks in advance!

Default Re: "Administrator" account not visible

Once you have created regular user accounts, the default Administrator
account vanishes from the Welcome screen, which you see when the computer
starts up. Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete twice at the Welcome screen to retrieve the
standard logon dialog. You can log on as Administrator from there.

Enable Administrator account on Welcome Screen
