Information:

When Windows is initially installed, unless one or more user accounts are created, the computer will default to using the administrator account. A common scenario is the creation of a new user account and the subsequent disappearance of the customer's documents and settings. The administrator account from that point on will only be visible in safe mode.

Easy access to the administrator account in normal mode can be granted by the following registry hack:

  1. In regedit navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
  2. If no DWORD value named Administrator is in the right pane of Regedit when the key (folder) UserList is selected, create one doing the following: Right-click in the blank space in the right pane. Select New -> DWORD Value. New DWORD value will be created; name it Administrator.
  3. Doubleclick the value Administrator; set value data to 1.

On restart to normal mode, the administrator account should now be listed on the Welcome screen along with the other user accounts.
