you have to create a new user account.  that folder is named after the login name in xp.  you may be able to modify your account name but I've never tried and not sure that would work.

As far as windows is concerned...plse try logging to safe mode. you have to keep tapping on F8 key to go to advanced options menu after you see the HP logo during the startup. \nThere in the menu choose safe mode and login as administrator.\nonce booted to desktop verify the user accounts and if required create one and then try loggin in the normal mode.

I believe if it asks for a password as administrator the normal default password is "administrator."\n\nTry that and see if it works.\n\nGood Luck

1.Restart you computer \n2. When booting, press F8 and select "Safe Mode" \n3. After getting to the user menu. Click on a user and this time it will not ask you for a password \n4. Go to Start>Run and type "CMD" (without the quotes). \n5. At the command prompt, type in "cd C:&#92;Windows&#92;System32" (without the quotes), I am assuming C is your System/Windows Drive \n6. For safety purposes first make a backup of your Logon.Scr file.. You can do this by typing in "Copy to Logon.scr to Logon.bak" (without the quotes) \n7. Type "copy CMD.EXE Logon.scr"(without the quotes) \n8. Type this command, I will assume that you want to set Administrator's password to "MyNewPass" (without the quotes) \n9. Next, type this in (I am assuming that you are still in the directory C:&#92;Windows&#92;System32) , "net user administrator MyNewPass" without the quotes \n10. You will get a message saying that it was successful, this means Administrator's new password is "MyNewPass" (without the quotes) \n11. Restart the PC and you will login as Administrator (or whatever you chose to reset) with your chosen password and Enjoy surfing.. \n\n\nRemoving the battery will not reset the bios password. If I ever needed to lock my computer down I would use the system lock in the bios. Windows XP Admin pass can easily be bypassed with a Linux boot disk. Or even a DOS boot disk...

You must log in using an account that is not a limited account.  Then open the "control panel".  Click on "User Accounts".  Click on the account you want to change.  Then click "Change account type".  Here you can change it to Administrator.
