Lost Admin User account

All right. I had 2 User accounts set up. One named "mholly" and it was set
up as the Administrator. The other was call "ASP.NET" and was limited user.
I was tired of having to choose a user during log-in, so I decided to delete
a user account. I changed the "ASP.NET" user account to Administrator and
renamed it "Administrator1". Then I changed the "mholly" to limited status.
I restarted the computer. Now I can only log in as "mholly". I no longer
have Administrator rights. I've tried hitting CRTL+ALT+Delete at the windows
logon. When I try to type in "Administrator1" at the log on I get a "The
Local policy of this system doesn't permit you to logon actively". One last
thing, Under computer Management I can see the admin account! I just can't
get to it to adjust the User accounts back to before. Help!
 
Gotcha. Since I have already done it, and now I cannot log back in under
that User Admin to change it back, do you think that by running the registry
 
You could give it ago, if it does not work then delete the account uninstall
the .net framework and reinstall, the account should then be recreated.

Dang, i'm stuck. I can't delete or install b/c i'm not logged in as Admin.
and I guess that's where my problem lies. why can't I login as Admin, even
after I switched the ASP.Net User to Admin rights. I renamed it
Administrator1. Shouldn't I be able to just type that in on the login screen
and log on? I get an error mssg when I do that.
It seems that I won't be able to do anything until I can login as Admin. I
there any work around?
 
Can you not just press CTRL+ALT+Delete at logon and type Administrator and
your password so you log in as your default administrator account.
