Deleted XP Admin Account by Mistake

Author: | Posted in the "PC Software" Category
September 1, 2009

John deleted his ‘admin’ account from an XP based pc and can’t reboot now.

For a start, I wouldn’t have thought it was possible to delete the main administrator account in XP!? But if you’re talking about an account called admin that was created then try rebooting the pc in safe mode by tapping F8 during startup. Click on ‘Administrator’ and if it asks for a password just leave it blank an continue to desktop. Then go into Users and re-add the admin account.

If this doesn’t work you may need to re-install XP.
