Change of Administrtaor for Windows XP pro

I am Administrator of Home office PC with Windoes XP pro.

My daughter, who is limited user, has somehow changed
herself to administrator and cancelled my login.

I can now no longer access my own PC

How can I get back in??

How old is she? Make her login and create a new admin account for you,
then take the computer over and boot in as your admin, change your
password to something she does not know and change her account back to
limited. Then create a separate admin account with a different password
so you can login as an admin when yiour normal admin account acts up.

Hi

Have you tried to log on with the original Administrator user:

If that doesn't work out, you might try to reset the local Administrator
password with one of the methods mentioned here:
