I have a pc and recently installed a wireless router so a remote pc in our
house could access the web. Foolishly I started pressing buttons and now I
don't have administrative priviledges to my own computer. I now log in as a
guest and I never had to log in at all before. So now I don't know where to
start to untangle all this.

Start - Log Out
If you can't do the above then set it to login to the welcome screen or
something or try via safe mode.
Press CTRL + ALT + DEL two times
Type in administrator and the password
Login
Change your account type.

Safe Mode:
http://kgiii.info/windows/all/general/safemode.html

If you log out, press start and select log out, you can then press the CTRL
+ ALT + DEL twice and login again by typing in another user name, in this
case administrator and the appropriate password.

To enter Safe Mode tap F8 right at Power on/Startup.
A list of startup options will present themselves.
Use the UP arrow to reach Safe Mode, hit ENTER.
