Safe mode problems

[Ryan]

I reformatted my hard drive and am attempting to reinstall
XP. I have finished the install and it's now asking me to
log in as the Administrator. It won't let me bypass this
as I never setup a password for the Admin login. One site
told me to boot into safe mode which is what I'm currently
trying to do, but Safe Mode is just a black screen with
Safe Mode written in the corners and a Microsoft header at
the top of the screen. Once I'm at this black screen what
do I do? Please. Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated.
