never set up account-need help administrator to install the program

I am trying to install a program that I downloaded, but it says that I need administrative rights to do. I have two user accounts on my system (me, comments). My personal account has Admin rights, but it is not letting me start the download. I've been reading around on how I need to original administrator to perform this task. But I have never set up an administrator account. How to set up an account without having to completely reinstall windows xp? I also tried to make the keys ctrl + alt + delete on the Welcome screen, wrap just got the account and the password forgotten. There is no existing account on my system labeled (Administrator). I also tried the process where you go to the start menu and change the registry. The two processes have been a failure, any comments would be appreciated. I feel that I'm exhausted from answers: (.)

At least we now know that the administrator account exists.

When the login screen appears and displays the choice of user login, try to hit keys Ctrl-Alt-Del twice.  This should bring up a screen of regular type computer-component software snap-in connection.  Enter the user 'administrator '. and, unless it has been changed, the administrator password is blank by default so leave this box blank and try to connect.

It is possible that the administrator account is disabled.  If you connect as long as yourself, bring up the command window and enter the command:
NET user administrator
and check the line "active account".  If she says 'No', you can activate the account by entering the command:
NET user administrator / Active: Yes

Since you don't have administrator privileges, you can reset the password for the administrator account if the empty password does not work.  To reset the password, enter the command:
NET user administrator *.
or
NET user administrator password (where "password" is replaced by a chosen password)
