I recently left a job where this computer (owned by me) had been set up as
part of a domain. I tried to delete that user account, but now my logon does
not have Administrator privileges, and I cannot open Outlook and other
programs. When I try to get into User Accounts, it asks for the name/password
of an Administrator. What can I do?

When you restart the computer push F8 to go into SafeMode....this
automatically starts in the Default Administrator account.
If it asks for a password and you have never set one up..tab thru it.
From there you can create a new user with admin priviledges.

It still says (even in Safe mode) that I must be a member of the
Administrators group on this computer to open User Accounts, and that this
account is not a member. It then asks for a login and password, which I do
not have. Any other thoughts? Thank you!

Use NTpassword to reset admin password
