Windows XP administrator rights lost
I had my Win XP reinstalled at Comp USA last year after a virus hit, but then I no longer had access to my Windows administrator rights. I can no longer access functions such as add/remove programs. How do I get it back?

Try user: Administrator
Password: blank (no password)
If that works, create or edit a new user's rights to the Administrator group
