Lost Administrator Account

[Guest]

My soon-to-be-ex-wife somehow disabled the Administrator account when she changed my account from Administrator to Limited. Now no one has administrator privileges and no changes can be made. In Computer Management, I can see the Administrator account, but it is flagged as disabled, and because I'm not longer administrator, I can't enable the Administrator account. Help?
