Windows XP Professional?

Press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice in a row at the Welcome screen, type in
"Administrator" as the username and whatever password (if any) you had set
for that user.

You can use the Microsoft TweakUI PowerToy to set it up so that the
Administrator user is on the welcome screen - but it is not recommended.
