Anyone who knows anything please respond.

I have always been set as the computer administrator on the computer,
however my brother recently changed the settings in order to gain access on
another profile so that he could check on a program that was acting up. The
problem is he stilll was not able to do what he needed with the other account
and he disabled it, to see if that would allow him to change anything (but it
did not help either). So to make a long story short the other profile is
disabled and my profile is set to a limited account, and i still have the
guest account- THE BIG PROBLEM is that I cannot regain access as the computer
administrator now, and neither can the guest profile, I cannot make any
changes to programs, or even try to do a system restore because everytime i
try it says " you do not have sufficient privileges to install...etc.", and
or it will say " You do not access to make the required system configuration
modifications. Please rerun from an admistrators account". only problem is
none of the accounts are administrators- Any help PLEASE HELP!!!

Click to expand...


Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account (which
cannot be deleted) and modify the desired account(s) and use Start > Run
"control userpasswords2" to modify the desired account(s). By
Click to expand...
design, the only way to log into the Administrator account of WinXP Home
is to reboot into Safe Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice
at the Welcome Screen will produce the standard login dialog box.
