Restore administrator access
My daughter had access to my husbands and sons computer and left home but not before deleting me as administrator from it and making all other accounts limited accounts. Hers is the only administrator account (presumably) and is password protected. Is there anything that I can do to restore administartor access. We did not password protect any of our accounts as we did not think we would have to. Tried to control alt del twice as previous post suggested for another but that only brought up my sons limited account. Please can someone help?1 person got this answerI do too

Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account (which cannot be deleted) and modify the desired account(s) and use Start > Run > "control userpasswords2" to modify the desired account(s).By design, the only way to log into the Administrator account of WinXP Home is to reboot into Safe Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the Welcome Screen will produce the standard login dialog box.How to Log On to Windows XP If You Forget Your Password or Your Password Expires http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q321305 Another community answer from the Windows XP newsgroups
