Yep. I don't want it in the welcome screen. I want it in the safe mode menu like xp

You can disable the administrator account buy seeing http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67567-administrator-account.html?filter for more details, also when you run the computer in safe mode you are automatically the administrator

Hope this helps,
Josh

Why don't you just enable the account, and then set a very strong password (over 20 characters, letters (upper and lower case), numbers and symbols - for example: rd|=/>~[x85t\8?.R~2Q) and then write this down somewhere (on a post it note for example) and then whenever you need this password to log on, you can go and find the note and type it in. This way it would take a long time to crack, and you can access the account if you need to.

To enable the hidden administrator account type the following in (an elevated) command prompt:

net user administrator /active:yes

Why not make a standard account, for everyday use. Save the administrator account for those situations when it is needed. Use a strong password as suggested.
