Hi,
My admin account got deleted and it was the built in
one!!! How do I resotre it?
Or how do I get my windows update to work it says there
are no updates right now check back later!
I got 2 month year old files! Why does this happen? Any
ideas? My dates and times are correct but I can't figure
out why. I think it is the build-in admin account. Can I
do updates with out the account?

Thanks,
Nick

Built-in accounts can't be deleted, but I think it might have been locked
out. Do you have any other admin accounts you can use?

If not, I would pull the hard drive, and copy files to another computer, and
do a fresh install.

Well, when my dad did my machine he added the admin
account and I deleted it! I got no accounts locked out.
Yes everyone on my computer is admin for safty reasons!
Any other solutions?
