Windows XP admin

[Joao Freire de Andrade]

I have installed Windows XP, it only has one account which is mine and it is
obviously admin. Recently i dont know what happened but i only have the
option to log off from this account, and when i tried to ctr+alt+del it said
i wasnt admin. I tried creating another account with admin powers and it
worked fine. I erased that and tried again my account but still it works as
if i wasnt admin. Could someone tell me how to fix this please?

As your post is a little vague I will do my best to try to answer your
questions. If you have successfully created another Administrator's account,
go to User Accounts and simply change the permissions for the first account
you want to be enabled. After doing so, you should be able to successfully
log in under that account and can delete the temporary one.
