Logging onto administrator on xp home ed

Does anybody know how to log onto the Administrator account? It's prob. very simple but I just can't figure it out. I'm a new xp user.
Control Panel > Users and Groups > change the way a user logs on or off > uncheck fast user switch and Welcome screen > logoff, type in Administrator, then the pass.
Note: this is for XP Pro, im unsure on Home edition.
please let us know if this method works on Home Ed. Thanks.

At the welcome screen hit ctrl+alt+del twice and type Administrator and enter your password. The "A" has to be in caps.

Snake driver, you are a genius. Thanks. Is there any way I can include it into my normalsettings to log onto it and use it, or do I need to upgrade to XP pro.

XP home only allows logon to the administrator from safe mode. To logon normally as administrator you will need XP pro.
