In regards to the question "BUT, then when I logged off of the peon account and tried to log into the default admin account (now sammy) it gave me an error of "could not login due to a logon restriction". SYMPTOMS When you install Windows XP Home Edition, you are prompted to enter a password for the Administrator account. After the installation has completed, you can only use the Administrator account in Safe mode. When you use the Administrator account to log on to the computer in Normal mode, you may receive the following error message: Unable to Log You on because of an Account Restriction CAUSE This issue occurs because the Administrator account has been set aside so that it can be used in Safe mode when the Owner account is not available. STATUS This behavior is by design. MORE INFORMATION See Knowledge Base article KBQ290109 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...90109#appliesto
