Since it is impossible to delete the "Administrator" account, there
is no need to recreate it. Simply log on under this account and
type in the correct password.

Note that if you were able to log in as guest, then create an admin
account, then Windows security would be a bit of a joke . . .

Note also that you're in the wrong newsgroup. Your system
appears to be WinXP home. This newsgroup, as its name
says, focuses on Win2000 issues.
