Lost Administrator Account

[Guest]

I have managed to accidentally delete the Administrator account from XP. The only user account remaining is a restricted user account which means that new software cannot be installed and other functions are not available.

Does anyone know how to reinstate the Administrator account?

Thanks for any assistance given.
