We accidentally deleted the system administrator. We
have only one user account remaining. How can we re-
establish the system administrator?
 
Boot into safe mode in XP, thats f8 when you restart.
Choose Safe Mode.
In XP there is always a Administrator Account in Safe Mode
for password recovery. Once your in that account go ahead
and recreate an account with Administrator Powers through
User Accounts in Control Panel.
 
Original Administrator Account Does Not Appear During Friendly Logon Method
