Let the system boot from a windows xp cd. Hope you know how to do that: Press any key to boot from cd, the you press any key. When given these options:

Press enter to set up windows xp now
Press r to repair windows xp using recovery console
press escape to cancel setup

Press r to go with the second option. You will asked when entering the recovery console which windows you want to log into, since you have only one o/s press 1, for password, if you had no password on itbefore just press enter then type this command:

net user administrator /active:yes

this should reenable the admin account.

dont forget to press enter when you type the command

Boot up in safemode, there is always an unchangable admin account that is available to log onto, you should be able to log onto this and enable your account again
