If you want to see the administrator account on the user list, press ctrl + alt + del TWICE on the login screen, and you can get to the administrator account there, but sometimes there's a password on it, which can't be changed without the cmd line.
if you wan't to log into it, go onto your normal account, go to 'Start' 'Run' type in 'cmd'
then type "net user Administrator *"
(without the quotes"")
Don't forget the * at the end, This will allow you to change the password, If you accidently put the wrong password or you forget it, don't worry, you can use the same command line to change it without permission of the old password, cool yeh.
This can be done with any account aswel, by replacing Administrator to you other account names.
By doing that, you can go to the user menu, and press Ctrl + alt + del 2 times and log into the administrator account, without safemode, and also keep your other accounts.
Just a tip i use sometimes,
Hope its helpful
