    Hi,

    I've accidently changed my Win XP Administrator Account to limited.
    Now my PC does not have an account with admin settings. I can not
    perform tasks like install/remove software and create new accounts.

    How can I fix this problem and setup a new Admin account? I really do
    not want to perform a clean install. I've searched the news groups
    and have been unable to find an answer.

    Thanks for any help!

    Keith
