Administrator login

[Guest]

I have erased the administrator account and the guest account on my kids
computer. I went to erase all the info pertaining to my folders and login as
well as my wifes and deleted the admin account. Basically nothing can be done
right now to fix this. I tried to re install xp pro and I says I do not have
permission for this task, contact your system admin. Is there a way to fix
this?

Hi Cody,

What are you trying to accomplish? You cannot remove the last admin account,
at least one must remain on the system.

Neither the built-in Administrator account nor the built-in Guest
account can be deleted. What did you really do, and what are you
actually trying to accomplish?

You cannot delete the Administrator account. Try booting into Safe Mode
and logging in as Administrator with no password, or with a password if
you know what it is. If that doesn't work, Google 'john the ripper',
download and run it, following instructions carefully, you can change
the Administrator password so you can have full access to the PC again.
