Hi, My wife was messing around with the computer and changed my
account from being the administrator to a limited user. She didnt'
specify anyone new as the administrator and now we are having
problems with loading new programs or using old ones. How do I
reinstate myself as the administrator without using an
administrator account?

You don't. That's sort of the point.
