I reintalled Win2k and set up a limited user account
first. Can I add an Admin user account now? If yes, how?
If no, do I have to install Win2k again? Do I have
reformat the HD? Thanks.

Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account and create
another account with administrative privileges, or modify one of the
existing accounts.

I tried but cannot find the original administrator
account.

It seems as if it was removed when I created the first
limited user account. Could this be correct?

No, the built-in Administrator account _cannot_ be removed.
However, it can be renamed, and often is as a standard security
precaution. I presume you'd know if you've done this, though.
