I somehow erased my administrator account. all i have now i guest account. I have all my stuff on administator. someone please help.
 
XP won't let you delete all admin accounts so this should be some relief!
There will be a master account with user name "Administrator". I hope you
know its password. XP's installation prog would have asked for this password
from you. To login as this account, at the Welcome screen press ctrl-alt-del
but tap the del key twice while still holding the ctrl-alt keys. This will
present the a login screen. Type in the user "Administrator" (no quote
marks) and its password. Now you can create another user admin account.

However, you will still have a problem accessing the folders that were owned
by the deleted account (Access denied msges). You will need to change
ownership as follows. Rt click a folder you want to change and goto
properties/security/advanced/owner and change the owner there.

Good luck.
 
if you do forget the password for that account I have a file i can send to
you that you burn to cd then boot up your computer with it and you can reset
your admin password
 
hey,
can't you just log into windows safe mode (pressing F9 at bootup) and get
into your user login without a password (including administrator) and then
changing the password from there. Iv'e done it before and it works -UNLESS-
the user has the safe mode also password protected.
Anyway - you can probably get millions of files off the internet that will
fix any p/w probs!
