Cannot find Administrator login

After I re-installed XP pro, Adminstrator login has disappeared completely.
There are some services which I cannot activate although I do have
administrator rights.

What can be the problem?

Hi,

After I re-installed XP pro, Adminstrator login has disappeared completely.
There are some services which I cannot activate although I do have
administrator rights.

What can be the problem?

SOLUTION:
===========
Administrator account would not be displayed in Welcome screen of Windows
XP. Once installation of Windows XP is over you would have been prompted
to create a computer administrator equivalent. Please login as that user
and try to start the services.

Otherwise your can do as follows:
1. Click Start -> Control Panel
2. Select Administrative Tools
3. Hold the shift key, then right mouse click the services icon and select
from the menu Run As
4. In the Run As window, click the radio button "The following user :"
5. Type Administrator in the User Name box and type the password provided
during the installation in the password box.

You could reboot the system to safe mode by selecting select F8 at startup.
Administrator account would be displayed in the safe mode.

Hope this helps ...... :)
