[iMav]

well as u know if 1 boots into safe mode of xp home then he can see the admin account which normally is not password protected is there any way by which i can password protect the admin account

In XP Home, the admin account can be password protected by going into safe mode, logging in as admin and going to user accounts in Control panel...

Or .. Start > Run > Control Userpasswords2 {Press Enter}

Under the Users tab, click on Reset Password under Password for Administrator frame.

I will suggest another easy way:

In the logon screen press ctrl+alt+del twice A box wil come up.
In the name field type "Administrator". Press Enter to login. Safe mode not needed. Now use this account as a normal account.
