2 edits		[XP Home] I am doomed....Admin privileges Question

I mistakenly changed the Administrators permission to limited on a PC I was working on for my nephew. Neither I nor the boys parents know the password to the Administrator. His name used to have Administrator privileges. Now when I go to change the Admin properties I get this screencap. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Perhaps you can boot into safe mode and access the administration account like so? When prompted for password - just click enter ... as the password is blank

Hopefully you can enter as full privileged admin and access the accounts, etc.
