Help! Account administrator - account limited - system indicates 'my computer name' listed as the administrator built-in locked out

I accidentally deleted my domain name (or user name) name of what I thought, it was the administrator account on my computer and have had problems with this terrible OS (Windows XP Home Edition) since then.

After reading so many different forums and comments everywhere you can imagine, I am inclined to believe that the account was in fact the built-in Administrator account Windows XP Home edition without an administrator account. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Now, I have more administrator access nor can I make changes or install programs and am extremely frustrated.

My account is now show as a guest, even if all my files are always available. Fortunately, the files were shared (at least this is what HP told me) don't know if I believe that all they said.

When I fell net user list all users on my computer, there is NO listed administrator account. I see my guest account, another account I have on the system with limited access and four other records that don't make sense. I also tried to access the account of SafeMode several times and still don't see it.

This is the information that is collected from the command net user:

The user shows my "name of the guest account; Full name is empty; Comment watch "of the computer or to the domain administrative account"; Active account, '' Yes. '' Membership in a local group, "Administrators"; Membership of a global group, 'none '.

So, I did a search on the Internet looking for more answers and came across a Web site that lists a likely solution (something new) because I assumed it was a registry problem (HP something else advised, in addition to the OS being corrupt, trying to add the administrator account), bringing my departure to HKEY_Classes_Root to check permissions for each user and possibly add permission for my so-called Administrator and guest account.

So I went to check the users listed in the registry under HKEY_Classes_Root and find the names of users or groups:

1. administrators ("my computer name" \Administrator)

2 creator owner - no

3 system

4. the user ('my computer name' \users).

So I followed the instructions and when it came to the part 'Search now', I clicked on the button to find the user accounts on my computer and found the following:

Administrator - "my computer name.

Comments (shows red (X))

Guests (network)

Help Wizard (shows red (X))

Helpservers (network service)

HP_Owner (interactive logon remotely)

'Username guest' (service)

"Another user name" (system)

and some other user... information irrelevant.

Now, I have a virus on the "another user name account" that I can't remove nor can I feed my antivirus because of the problem of the Administrator program. I also tried to save my files online and can not do it because I can not install any programs due to... Yes, the question of the administrator.

Can someone please, please tell me what can be done to fix this? I'm at my wits end. I don't think that it requires my withdrawal, repair and reinstall my BONES together. There have a solution to this problem. And I hope that's not the same answers as I read in so many forums that seem to give the same answer over and over again. Also, I apologize if I look a little rough, but I'm so very frustrated with this XP thing. I had multiple computers and different systems of BONE, which I've NEVER had any problems, but this XP thing is by far the worst I've ever seen in the history of my experiences with many computers.

Help, please!

I understand your frustration.  However, one of the hardest parts to try to provide technical support through a forum like this (or by e-mail or phone even) communicates with precision between the problem and the person trying to help. Although your message is long, it raises more questions than it provides information.

For example:

I am inclined to believe that the account was in fact the built-in Administrator account Windows XP Home edition without an administrator account. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Windows XP Home Edition, indeed there is a built-in Administrator account, but by default it is only available in Mode without failure.  Somehow, you managed a rename this account in all what you mean by , (b) accessible in normal mode, (c) leave it in the administrator group, but d remove administrative privileges on account of.

In addition, I don't know where you looked under .  As far as I know, there is nothing on the permissions of the user.  This website has the instructions you followed?

I suspect that the cause of your problem may be 'the' virus (there may be several) which has infected your computer, rather than what you did to your user account.  If you are able, I suggest to run each of the following free applications:

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: malwarebytes.org [update after installation]

SUPERAntiSpyware: superantispyware.com [update after the installation or the use of theportable version , which needs no installation]

Multi-AV - Instructions here:http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/09/scan-your-computer-with-multiple-anti-virus-for-free/

Although you're probably right, that reinstalling Windows is not necessary, it is the solution of many remote (including those in the forums like this) fall back on when he cannot understand what is happening.  At this point, your best option would be to take your computer to a competent local professional (not a type of BigComputerStore/geeksquad of the place) and let someone actually watch.  Tell them that you do not want to reinstall Windows.

Ask them if they can do a "repair installation" instead (although this cannot fix things in the case of a serious viral infection).  The difference between a repair facility and a 'clean install' or 'restore factory settings' is that the last two options delete all your data and all the applications you installed since you bought the computer.  A repair installation - if this works as expected - keeps the data and applications.  But it's always a good idea to back up the data before you do anything like that.
