This is actually a big prob since i'm the only user and i disabled the administrator account (stupid). Once I attempt to log myself in, xp logs me off, and I can never get access. It accepts my password, but immediately logs me off. How can I fix this prob? Is it possible to enable the administrator account from the recovery console?
 
What options do you have via Safe Mode to login?
 
Hmm IF you have DISABLED it from shwoing up.. I guess it depends on how you have it setup to log you in. YOU can TRY to ctrl/alt/del TWICE and bring up the screen and try to log in the administrator account that way. BUT.. I would suspect IF your computer is loggin you in and then OUT right away. that your computer is FLASHING a msg REALLY quickly and your not seeing it. I've run into this problem before. IF safe mode doesn't help. You can alwasy try to REPAIR it. with the win xp cd. ALSO try to remember what the last few programs you have installed are? and worse case go to SAFE MODE DOS PROMPT and delte the program from there.
Good Luck
