When you get to Windows, copy and paste the following quote box contents to notepad and save it to "admin.reg", eg. to desktop. Then double click the file to import it to registry.
Quote:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]
"Administrator"=dword:00000001
Reboot.
Now there should be Administrator account on logon screen.
