I have made a mistake. I was in user accounts and changed myself and
my
partners accounts to limited. I no longer have an administrator
account, do not have a guest sign in just 2 limited accounts that I
can not change to administrator.
Log into the normally-hidden built-in Administrator account. Then go
into the User Accounts applet in Control Panel and make the necessary
changes.
In XP Home, boot the computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly
tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to
the right menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not
work here. Once in Safe Mode, you will see the normally hidden
Administrator account. The default password is a blank.
In XP Pro, you do not need to go into Safe Mode. At the Welcome Screen,
do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in
"Administrator" and whatever password you assigned when you set up
Windows.
If you reset the built-in Administrator account's password in Home or
have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the
built-in Administrator account's password to a blank.
