My partner is using XP Professional on her PC and had the
single Admin account set up. She wanted to create a
limited access account for our daughter and says that she
renamed the admin account and changed the access settings.
Now we have just this one account and no admin rights!
If I try to change any system stuff I am told to log off
and log back on to the admin account buit there is only
the one, limited access account available at the log on
screen.

Does anyone have any ideas how she has got to this point
and how to get the admin account back?

Yours hopefully,
Michael
 
You can hit Ctrl+Alt+Del twice at the login screen to get
the hidden Administrator account. Also, you can boot up
in safe mode as administrator by hitting F8 a few times as
it is starting up. Good luck.
