Default I deleted the administrator account


While in UAC, after creating a User Account with Administrative
privileges, I deleted the UAC named "Administrator." I no longer have
access to "Documents and Settings" and various other folders. I have
tried booting to Safe Mode, but there is not an "Administrator" login to
choose from, only the created Named Administrator appears. If I try to
re-create the "Administrator" in the UAC, I get the message that the
"Administrator" already exists. How do I get this User back? Do I
follow the CMD instructions to "Enable" an Administrator account?

Default I deleted the administrator account


I had to log into the .cmd command the other day when I did that my
ADmin user account had been corrupted, and I couldn't log in under it. I
did the following:
1. I went into my wifes "STANDARD USER" account and clicked on the start
button them typed: "CMD" without the quotes.
2. When the .cmd command line came up in the list I right clicked on it,
then clicked on "Run as ADministrator. Then hit Enter.
3. Type: net user administrator /active:yes. Hit Enter.
4. The command line will tell you if you successfully enter the Syntax.
If so at the next line type: "exit" (without the quotations)
Now you can go in and create another User Administrator account using
your hidden Administrator.
5 Once created don't forget to go in undr your new user Admin account
and re-hide your Built in Admin Account.
