On the welcome screen, press CTRL+ALT+DEL two times and then log in as %26quot;Administrator%26quot; with no password.

It is unlikely you have deleted the account as it would not let you. To do it you would have to be logged in as as an administrator which would therefore leave you with a working admin account (the one you used to delete the administrator account). Also in some operating system versions you can%26#039;t even access the administrator account for security reasons. (Mainly Vista or networked XP on a domain)





It is more likely you deleted the files assoicated with the admin account? (Though again unless you are using an admin account you would not get access or permissions to do it)





What OS are you using? Vista or XP.





If you deleted the files check the recycle bin?





Go to start, control panel, users and create a new account with admin rights if needed. While in the users section it will list all the accounts you have active, one should be administrator, though only if you have the admin rights to see it.





Failing that boot into safe mode. Reboot the PC and press F8 while it%26#039;s loading up (usually just before the scolling bar screen) till you get a list of commands, one of which is safe mode. That will let you log in as administrator and that will also recreate the document folders you might have lost. (Safe mode has limited functions so limit what you do in there)





Not sure what extra help to offer without knowing more about it. Your laptop come with a recovery disk from the makers?

Win Xp has to have 1 active admin account, so if you don%26#039;t have it .. someone else has .





Just to make sure have a look at the user accounts in the control panel folder just to see if you have deleted this account and to see who has the remanding admin account.





Get the remanding administrator to upgrade your account to the same level .. and this should help or fix your problem
