Unable to log in by admin ID & password

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

The problem is with Windows XP Home Edition SP2 which was preinstalled
in the machine I recently purchased.
I booted the system in SAVE mode and created a password for
Administrator account, but when I attempted to log in by Administrator
account the following message is displayed:

Unable to log you on because of an account restriction.

How can I remove this "account restriction".

So, that is a difference of Home Edition compared to Professional. Thanks.
