Admin account HELP!

[Sam]

We accidentally deleted the system administrator. We
have only one user account remaining. How can we re-
establish the system administrator?

 

[Kroz]

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.
