cannot boot into safe mode

I'm trying to boot my XP PC into safe mode (to fix another problem
with my DVD drive), but it won't let me. It says that my login is
incorrect. I am typing it in correctly, over and over again. I notice
that when I click on OPTIONS, it makes the OK button vanish. Is there
some way to make this work, besides reinstalling windows?

So you can log in normally?

Start | Run <type in>
control userpasswords2
<enter>

Click on your account, then unselect the top option, you will be asked
for your password Apply - then you won't be asked for a password for
safemode.

You really should run ERUNT before doing anything
