Tack Torgeir :)
But tried and don't work. The main Admin account (SID 500), which is
disabled, will not get enabled by starting in Safe Mode. I got no idea if
that worked before and if it's something new security wise in SP2. And the
Power User won't be allowed to create any user accounts with admin rights.
Looks as if I'm screwed (or rather my uncle is screwed)
