- Preventing Admin account to boot in safe mode
- Posted by Ranjan on October 7th, 2005
I have created 2 user on my comp.
1myself is admin account & user must log in with password.
2nd account which is limited account & user must log in with password.
Guest account remain disabled
all are working fine but when I boot in safemode, it shows me Adminstrator
account & My account with admin privilege.
It lets me sign in to adminstrator account without needing any password, I
need to stop this.
In user account it only show me my
main admin account
limited account
guest user
I never created any separate adminastrator account.
I want to stop admin account boot up in safe mode without password.
How can I do this.

Since the built-in Administrator account only shows up in Safe Mode, I'm
assuming you have Home Edition. The built-in Administrator account is
normally hidden in Regular Mode. Go into Safe Mode and log into this
Administrator account and go to the User Accounts applet in Control
Panel. You can set a password there.

I should have made it more clear.........I am using xp pro with ntfs.
I got it where to change the option for the password.
I will do as you suggested.
Thanks
