There is always an Administrator. XP Home has an Administrator, but a logon (without tricks) is only possible from Safe Mode.
Autologon:
1. At a command prompt, type "control userpasswords2" and press Enter to open the Windows 2000-style User Accounts application.
2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click OK.
