Deleted Admin

[Defib]

Hello All

Some silly user deleted the Administrator account now they are unable to perform any installations etc (Windows Xp Pro))

How would I restore the Administrator account for them??

Thanks

The account that deleted the Admin account obviously has admin priviledges...so just use that account to recreate the admin account.

ooh... unless they deleted the account long ago and now the admin has expired on their account ?

possible
