When I installed windows XP I accidently only set up a "guest" account. Now I am unable to do any adminstrative stuff to my computer because I can only log on as a guest. I can't reload XP and setup new accounts because as a "guest" I'm not allowed. Can anybody help me out? Thanks in advance
 
If you reboot and hit F8 early in the process prior to
the operating system loading sequence you will get the
choice to start up in safe mode. Choose start Windows XP
and after it loads it will give you the option to select
the administrators account. Once you have created another
account with administrators priviledges, you can reboot
into normal mode and select the newly created account to
work in.
Good luck!
