Please help. My Dell Inspiron went wacky. I lost my ADMIN user

My question is, HOW CAN I GET MY ADMIN ACCT BACK? It shows up
under my doc's, but when I try to access I get "file is denied
accesses"

Is my only option to format and re-install XP Pro? If so, do I use
the Re-install CD or the original CD?

Do you automatically log on?
If so - turn that off.

Reboot.

At the *welcome screen* (assuming this is the logon you get - has the word
"Welcome" on it and a list of users to choose from) press CTRL+ALT+DEL
twice - quickly. That should get rid of the 'welcome' screen and bring you
to the classic logon screen. Enter the username as "administrator" and the
password as either whatever you used to utilize *or* leave the password
field blank if you did not use the "Administrator" user.

Hopefully that will get you in.
