I inadvertantly created another administrator account
which overwrote my original.
I now have a login with PCName\Administrator.
The problem is that I do not have admin rights & cannot
install a new printer due to insufficiant rights.
Is there a way to bypass this security to reset admin
rights?
This PC resides in a home office so I really don't need
the security.

TIA
