    Just check here and see what could you do

    Go to Start, click Run, and type control userpasswords2 click OK

    See what permissions you have.

    Under the command prompt shell window, run the following command:

    net user administrator /active:yes It is impossible to delete an administrator account. When you first log on there is only the administrator account, then you can add more later. And yes if you add just one account XP will assume that it is going to be the administrator.

    But as far as I know it is impossible to delete the Admin account.

    I have done that a thousand time may be.I pressed Alt+Ctrl+Del 2 times and the window pop up, Try searching for something called "Emergency Rescue Disk Commander" or "Emergency Repair Disk Commander, if it does not found then Press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to display the Log on to Windows dialog box if you haven't got it already. There you need to enter "Administrator" (without the quotation marks) in the user name box and enter the password you created for the Administrator account during setup. After you log on as administrator you can create other accounts.
