Add the following reg hack to make it appear.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]
"Administrator"=dword:00000001

You'll have to be logged on as an admin to apply that reg key. If your using XP Home, reboot in safe mode and apply. For XP Pro, press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice for admin logon.
