If you don't have the password for the admin account, only thing I can suggest is Googling for one of the XP password reset utilities, reset the admin password, log on to it, and change your account back to where you want it.

Are you logged on to this account when trying to change it back? you may
need to log on to a different account with admin privileges to change it.
