Administrative Privelages removed?

I recently removed a Win2k workstation from a domain after it had been
removed from the Network and the building it lived in and after removing the
domain and switching to a workgroup, the Administrator account no longer has
administrative privelages. The only two accounts in Users are Administrator
and guest and neither can make any changes. Can someone guide me through this
strange problem? Thanks

Why do you believe there are only those two accounts?
Accounts can be renamed, so what you believe is the Administrator
account may be just some old account with that name, and the real
built-in admin account may now have a different name.
If, when logged in, you enter at a cmd prompt
net localgroup administrators
you will get the list of all admin accounts.
