G'Day Kool,

You cannot delete the "Administrator" in Windows Xp. It is built
into the operating system.

What you have done is to delete a User who was AN administrator.

You do have ONE thing that MAY work.

Try to log in as 'Administrator', leaving the
password blank.

Xp Prof - If you see the Welcome Sceen,
press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice then
try to login.

Xp Home - you need to boot to Safe Mode
to log in as 'Administrator'.

In EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES, you
may care to visit
http://www.datapol.de/en
and investigate CIA Commander
                OR
visit
http://www.winternals.com/products/repairandrecovery/erdcommander2002.asp
and consider ERD Commander
 - (you'll need a diskette and a friend's PC).

Good Luck!
