xp pro lockout

[Guest]

I have a dell laptop with xp pro with service pack 1 that was given to me
because it wasn't working. I got it going again and it was working fine until
I decided to delete the old administrators. I went to start - run - control
userpasswords2. I checked the box that was for eliminating the need for
passwords. When I clicked on accept my computer went to an administrator
logon screen with the word Administrator as the user name and a blank
password box. I got locked out. I tried everything from just hitting enter
with a blank box to filling in any and all previous administrators. It tells
me to make sure the name and domain are correct. How to I correct this?

Dan,
Thanks for the answer. I already downloaded and made the cd version of this
boot disk. My laptop doesn't have a floppy drive. The cd version, however,
won't read from my cd drive. Any ideas how to get it to work?
